Butterbeer Recipe
The Irish grandmother of a dear friend of mine used to melt butter in a
pot, then pour in beer to warm it. I'm told this simple version of butter
beer dates back centuries. Author J. K. Rowling does not provide a recipe
for butterbeer in her wildly popular Harry Potter book series, so this
version is pure speculation. Harry Potter's butterbeer contains a mild
intoxicant, but this dessert version is suitable for children and tasty
enough to please adults as well.
INGREDIENTS:
1 pint real vanilla ice cream (use a brand that includes vanilla seed
specks for best flavor or make your own)
1/4 cup real butter, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon butterscotch extract
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 quart apple cider
PREPARATION:
On medium speed, beat together vanilla ice cream, butter, butterscotch
extract, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well-combined.

Pour into a container and re-freeze.

When ready to serve, gently heat apple cider in a saucepan until steaming
hot.

Place 1 scoop of ice cream in a thick soda glass or large mug. Top with
steaming apple cider.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings
