    Homemade Butterbeer Recipe for Young Wizards

    Ever since I visited Hogsmeade at Universal Studios and tried the Butterbeer, I instantly became addicted and wanted more when I returned home. I tried different recipes until I was able come up with one very similar to what you get in the Universal Studios park.

    Now you can can make your own at home anytime you’d like. It’s delicious and non-alcoholic for young wizards. Of course you can always spike it for the adult wizards! Enjoy this all year-long when you get that craving!

      WARNING. I put everything in the shaker and it exploded everywhere. Maybe try a blender.
