Typo Alert: I've just caught a typo in the final recipe graphic in this video. Sadly, I can't fix it now.
"1 inch grated nutmeg"
should read
"1 inch grated ginger"
Sorry!
There's something so darn Chistmassy about the Harry Potter films, particularly the first few, that I always thought of them as Christmas Movies, even though maybe they're not. Well I'm kicking off this holiday season with a hot mug of cheer with this 1588 recipe for Butterbeer. I know there's a ton of nonalcoholic recipes out there for Butterbeer and those are fine, but honestly, I think this is more in line with what J.K. Rowling had in mind when she wrote the books. For starters, the kids need to grow up from Pumpkin Juice to Butterbeer, implying there's something more mature about it. Secondly Europe and the U.K. are a bit more lax in regards legal drinking ages, and I'd imagine wizards even more so. Thirdly, Butterbeer is an actual real thing, found in a Tudor cookbook from 1588. Was J.K. Rowling specifically referencing this recipe? I can't say for sure (unless she wants to answer!) but I CAN say that I was shocked to discover that Nicolas Flamel was a real person, who wrote a book on alchemy and the creation of the Philosophers Stone. They have copies of it at the NY Public Libary reference branch, rare books section. So, she wasn't strictly making things up with these books. So, this Butterbeer as the official Wizards Butterbeer? Maybe.
Making this episode was the first time I'd made butterbeer, and I'm just gonna be frank: I loved it. This stuff is incredible, though perhaps best in moderation since it's not far off from pancake batter. I'm pretty sure it'll be a huge hit at any holiday party you through. Enjoy!

Second thing: I caught a typo in the final recipe of this video! "1 inch grated nutmeg" should read "1 inch grated ginger", fairly obvious but I had to set the record straight!
Also: Unsalted butter.
Hey I made this fallowing your recipe. It was DELICIOUS!
I did the test 32%grifandore 24% ravenclaw
18% hufflepuff 16% slitheran
I was like granger
Couldn’t tell if u made the non alcoholic version?
Oh hey, I have learned there IS a reason to use dried over fresh ginger. Fresh ginger has more of a biting, tingling, bright flavor, while dried ginger converts alot of those flavors into a sort of burning hot taste. Experiment! make ginger tea with both.
That’s the Ravenclaw in you lol 🤣🦅💙 always teaching and correcting …. Go Ravenclaw!!!

Fantastic Drinks and How to Make Them
I'd watch that
Sooo clever... ! Love it.
Bravo!
Make this a recipe book!
Take your damn upvote.
in the UK drinking with friends is pretty normal from the age of like 15 so it may seem weird to americans but them drinking real alcohol in the books isn't too odd
Book 5 and after maybe
It doesn't seem weird to us, real Americans hate the stupid drinking age law. You can go join the military and vote at 18 but can't drink or smoke... tsk... but most states allow kids to drink on family property at 16 under adult supervision
@@PUNISHERMHS_2021 actually i think 25 is a better age to bump it up to. Why? You won’t party out your liver in your twenties like most stupid ass kids. Plus then you can focus on your career with college (stem) or a trade.
Well to be fair the legal age and drinking age differ everwhere. In germany drinking is allowed from the age of 18 but people usually have their first hangover with 14. Literally not a si gle person i know did not drink alcohol before they were legally allowed to do so
Yes it is. The drinking age in the UK is 18 (and in the wizarding world it's 17). So anyone drinking below that is breaking the law. You certainly couldn't buy alcohol in a pub without ID that proves your age.
No one will probably see this but, I tried to figure out how I would make a single serving of this drink and came up with the following recipe. 12 oz. of ale , with just a dash of dried clove powder, ginger powder, and nutmeg. Let it come to a very low simmer in a sauce pan, hint taste as you go to see how much spice to add, you don't need much with these ingredients! While waiting for your beer to warm up take two egg yolk and mix them with 1/4 cup of demerara or light brown sugar if you don't have access to demerara. Beat the yolks in with the sugar until it is white in color. Then take a ladle and slowly while mixing if possible, temper your egg sugar mixture by adding a little bit of beer at a time, once that mixture is tempered, add it to the rest of your beer, depending on the head of the beer you may need to whisk it a bit vigorously to achieve a serious froth. Finally while its still warm melt 1oz. of butter and pour into a large mug. Note, some experimentation has also been done with porter, and I found it to be good as well, though not very frothy.
Egg whites you mean? By the way, thx for the measurements!
@@heama he actually only used the yokes not the whites in this recipe, I'd honestly be interested in seeing if there would be of beating the whites and folding them into the beer. if you used the whites instead let me know how it turned out
thank you :)
Does the foam count as part of the 12 oz?
@@lilporky8565 I used a standard American 12 Oz bottle and the amount of beer foam will depend on your pour. You will end up with more than 12 Oz obviously since you will be adding a considerable amount of sugar and egg.
Liquid French Toast. This drink sounds like Liquid French Toast, which sounds like an amazing description
ErikaRene I agree:)
Definitely
Then, you would need maple syrup ;)
@@freb maple syrup is not really a common ingredient in french toast. If you like it that way all power to you but this doesnt require maple syrup for it to be liquid french toast

@@steamedcarrot781 Ok so I decided to not do that. I made it though and damn is it good. It kinda tastes like a hot eggnog.
I was so excited to taste Butterbeer when I found a bottle on sale, too bad that the official one is basically like drinking sparkling syrup. This is closer to what I always pictured the drink to be: a creamy, hot and slightly spicy beverage, almost like a mix between eggnog and a cappuccino. I'm totally gonna try this recipe one day

The Quaffle in the fruit bowl is a great little easter egg!
This is what I imagined when they mentioned butter beer in the books. Not like the ones in the park.
Ana Banana well they have to make an alternate for the ppl under 18 in the park. I imagined it to be beer that are creamy as butter with a little ginger sweet taste when i read the book. The one in the park just taste like syrup
They're so gross! I was so excited to try out Butter Beer in the lodge, but it turned out nasty.
omg same lol
I always pictured it as a warm creamy buttery flavoured drink. It's not supposed to be alcoholic except for house elves. But overall this seems to line up well with what was described. I'll definitely be making it.

I was just thinking these two would make an awesome collaboration for a holiday special
I really love revisiting these og videos this time a year just fits the holiday vibes very nicely
when to add the butter?
I actually had a friend who worked in Orlando’s Universal Studios!
If you want to make a frozen butter beer as they make ‘em in the theme park:
1) You’ll want a bottle of Cream Soda
2) Blend it LIGHTLY with crushed ice
3) in a separate bowl you’ll want a decent amount of whipped cream (about a four second squirt)
4) lightly mix in caramel syrup into the whipped cream and adjust to a light caramel taste
5) Pour in your soda cream slush and top with caramel cream topping
I kid you not, this is exactly how they do it and it is surprising easy to make. Plus, most households have whipped cream, caramel syrup, and ice! All ya need is the cream soda and you’ll be in for a treat 😁
Somebody pin this comment.
Treat + diabetes :)
lol genuine question: do most American households typically have whipped cream and caramel syrup on hand? Specifically the whipped cream in the spray can? 😂
@@karlcarlsburg9641 yes most Americans have whipped cream in their fridge. Caramel syrup is less common but easy to find at stores why do you ask?

Made this with some friends last week.
Don't have a big meal before having this drink. This drink IS a large meal.

@@cab1956 depends on the season. 1 whole pot for winter is 1 person for me. Lol
true, very filling, i made it with friends and they didnt like it so i had to take it all down myslef, over a course of a couple of days ofc
It sounds like a whole breakfast with all that butter and egg in it. Kind of nasty sounding when you look at the ingredients but it tastes amazing.
Holy shit, it really is orgasmic....I wanted more but it really is filling...sooooo full but wanted more
Just found this, wanted a good recipe using actual beer (not that super sweet butterscotch-y soda) to drink while playing the new Hogwarts game- this came out great!! Followed directions exactly, except used ground ginger (1.5 tsp) and ground nutmeg. Will be making again!!! 🍺

Sugar, fat and alcohol. From perspective of health, this is poison. But of course it tastes amazing.
They're only poison in excess.

Poison? Your body wouldn't make it far without sugar and fat.
@@EnCey2 Thats what a century of consuming sugar makes you believe. There was a time when sugar wasnt needed. Ive been on Keto for 4 years now, and I can say you can make it with minimal to no sugar.

“Definitely enough nutmeg”
Rumour has it that this remark made Jon Townsend so irate he frowned mildly for half a second.
Rumor has it Jon sent him a letter explaining why there is never enough nutmeg and sent him some special Townsends nutmeg!
I went looking for this. He does say the Tudors were nutmeg-obsessed later in the video.
I got notification from Townsend as I was reading this
A tip on ginger use: peel it with a vegetable peeler, tightly wrap it in plastic wrap, freeze it, and *then* grate it: it turns into an almost ginger snow that dissolves super fast and is significantly easier to grate as the fibers don't come apart.
Peel it with a teaspoon. Less wastage.
Ya, I made this and mine came out a little chunky, gonna take this advice for the second batch. (Yes it was still that good)
Oooh, that's such a nice idea!! Thanks for the tip 😘

Initially I thought this guy is definitely a Hufflepuff. By the end of it, especially when he goes into nerdily clarifying and explaining how there's half a butter stick in the beverage, I was convinced that he's a Ravenclaw. Your sense of humor was pure class. Keep it up mate. By the way you've gained yourself a new subscriber.
To be clear, the fandom does accept hybrid houses, wherein a person may exemplify strong traits from more than their chosen house. I, for example, am technically a Hufflepuff, but I consider myself a Huffleclaw.
@@angelnichols5408 i consider you a huge bender
Angel Nichols I think traditionally they would just say you are a hufflepuff with Ravenclaw undertones, cause I don’t think you can mix the houses like that
This is the most bent comment I've ever seen
I think the Hufflepuffs must always have a nice smelling common room and dorms, not just because of the plants in their common room... But because of one other thing. If I am not mistaken, they are right near the Hogwarts Kitchens.
doesnt anybody think he looks like jacob kowalski from fantastic beasts
Anybody? So many. I’m like one out of ten comments on this video is this
I was going to say the same thing but you beat me to it.

No you don't. They just see a guy with black hair a little chub and a mustache,and also very charismatic. Kinda got that same charm.
Especially at the beginning,I had to stick up for him,I've got that same kinda funny man,charm and get related to him as well, even with blonde hair,blue eyes funny thing nobody knows his name neither do I. But it drives me nuts because some idiots start to think that you must be like them,if you remind them of them. I'va also reminded people of jonna hill.oooooh god,I'd rather look like other guy.

Yes he is very good at being entertaining. you could always try it as beer batter. Just scale down the ratios and only use one pint of Ale then add some flour. As he mentioned fish and chips made with this would probably be really freaking good.
But if you wanted to avoid the alcohol entirely a good strong Ginger soda would probably work. The biggest reason for putting beer into batter is the carbonation. Makes for crispy breading.
Calm, casual speech without a ton of cuts and smooth jazz playing in the background.
I would recomend using dried ginger as it has a slightly different flavour to fresh ginger (spicier and generally stronger)

That Bedknobs and Broomsticks reference made me happy.
You would use ground ginger opposed to fresh because ground versus fresh ginger undergoes significant flavor changes on a chemical level that will carry through to the final product/drink/recipe. Yes, ginger is a tropical plant and resultantly does not grow well in England, but the chemistry is why I would side with using the dried ginger or else risk changing the flavor profile significantly. There are some good youtube videos on ginger specifically and these changes it undergoes through various processes, including simple dehydration.
Didn’t know that, interesting!

@@fabi3790 Yup, most European countries have drinking ages at around 14, with stipulations (Pubs only, No Hard Liqour, etc). Even in the US some States allow drinking under 21 under adult supervision.
@@mxviii i am not in enough pubs to know that..
And to old
I just knew that in my country with 16 you can drink and buy
So I was just a bit.. confused maybe that they can drink with 13
Or that it's implied
@@fabi3790 yeah it doesn’t seem to be too strict like in the US. When I was traveling through Europe at 14 every country I went to, Poland, Germany, Italy, France, England. If I asked for a beer I got a beer. Germany even has a like a “kid” beer called bebop. Which is like a low alcohol beer mixed with coke
I might add as well, since this video has released, those tankards are now completely sold out, so kudos to you for bringing the maker a ton of business!
I found a second supplier of the same exact tankard and updated the link, that’s for the heads up!
The mug does look cool but I've been seeing a lot of reviewers saying the mug leaks after a few uses. Nothing to do with the drink but i thought i'd mention it.
sketch zeppelin it’s a wooden tankard, you’ve got to use it semi regularly or it dries out
That doesn't seem to be it. Customers are reporting that it starts leaking after only a few uses soon after buying or that it leaks straight out of the package. Often from the bottom. It seems like half the reviews report the tankard leaking either straight away or within a few days.

CZcams algorithms are working again! This video got recommended and now I cannot stop binge watching this channel
Yessssss give into your binge
Well this was a lark to watch! Reading Harry Potter to my daughter this summer, watching the movie after each book, and having thematic treats. I made rock cakes and we're going to have butter beer soon (nonalcoholic, she's 10) and I loved watching your version of it and hearing all your HP commentary and trivia.
This is my Xmas morning drink! Been doing it for that last few years and always put this on! Merry Christmas!

Dude, the Bedknobs & Broomsticks reference immediately made me fall in love with your channel. Best movie of my childhood!
This is my absolute favorite video from you so far.
You are such a positive narrator, couldn’t keep myself from smiling wide the whole video.
Thank you for the recipe, would definitely give it a try 🍻
If anyone wants to know the (estimated) ABV for this, I've tried to figure it out myself.
(edit) It's 4.74% if you don't care about math, but if you do, read more.
First, I found the estimated weight of the final drink:
Weight of the ale: (alcohol is on average 5% denser than water) Samuel Smith Winter Welcome Ale is 550 ml per bottle 550 * 1.05 = 577.5 3 * 577.5=1732.5
Total volume of ale is a little more than 1.5 liters, I want this to be as accurate as possible.
1650 mL of ale = 1732.5 grams ale
1 inch of ginger = roughly 1 1/4 teaspoons ground which = roughly 1.74 grams of ginger
Half teaspoon of nutmeg = 2.46 mL (density of nutmeg is around .89 g/mL) roughly 2.19 grams of nutmeg
Weight of cloves varies greatly, but from multiple sources, I'll put the grams at an average of 5g per piece. 6 cloves * 5g = 30 grams of cloves
sugar (easy) = 225 grams sugar
egg yolks weigh on average 20 g each, 5 egg yolks = 5 * 20 = 100 grams egg yolks
finally, butter (easy) = 100 grams butter
Estimated total weight of finished product: 2,191.43 grams.
Then, I found the alcohol weight in the ale alone:
Alcohol by volume of the ale = 6.00 %
Therefore, the alcohol weight of the total 1732.5 grams of ale is 1732.5 * 0.06 = 103.95
Total alcohol weight in final drink 103.95 grams
ESTIMATED ABV OF FINAL DRINK = 103.95 / 2191.43 = 4.74
4.74 % alcohol by volume, still within average range of ABV of beer.
I didn't account for any of the ingredients burning off during preparation or that spill at 7:53 :) but I think this is as accurate of an estimate I could find given the data I could find and the ingredients in the video.
Feel free to let me know if you would have done something different. Besides doing something else with 45 minutes of my life.
I spent way too much time on this.
Not all heroes wear capes
Alcohol boils at 73°C, so quite a bit of it will have boiled off
@@kieranh2005 exactly. Vapour pressure of alcohol, area of the free boundaries of the mixture, energy use in the heating, time of heating and interaction between water and alcohol are factors that should be considered for the estimation of the alcohol lost (in reality many more ). My guess is that the real alcohol percentage is about 1.5, 2% by volume
You smoked out😂

Came over from Binging with Babish!
just tried making this for the first time. Came out differently then yours. a lot of people seemed to describe yours as "french toast" mine was more "gingerbread". used a little extra ginger and i only had brown sugar on hand. still got compliments. Might next go round will be using a pale ale, raw cane sugar (no molasses), less ginger, and maybe that 6th egg you mentioned
Omg I LOVE you referenced Bed knobs and broomsticks!!! 💜💜💜
No one:
JK Rowling: Harry Potter is a raging alcoholic addicted to butterbeer and the entire events in Hogwarts was all in his head
Also he is gay

Well, Daniel radcliffe was an alcoholic, so there's something

This is the most legit rendition of this and THAT BEDKNOBS AND BROOMSTICKS CLIP THO. Damn, I feel old af.
Ooo! I'm definitely trying this closer to Christmas. Thank you so much!
LOVED the Bedknobs and Broomsticks reference!
I've spent so much time unsuccessfully looking for actual butter beer thank you so much for bringing this to us
I will be trying this. But here in my home state of Washington there is a Brewery located in Leavenworth called the Icicle brewery and they make this insanely delicious Ale called Dark Persuasion and it is a German Chocolate Cake ale so i will have to try making a batch of butter beer with that....... Sooooo excited
Once you tried it, let us know more!
Oh my goodness....I am intrigued
Casey-j-Neer CJN ITS ACTUALLY AMAZING. Had it at the Olympia brew fest and you won’t be disappointed!

I was Best Man at a friend's wedding at Ohme Gardens in Weenatchee, Washington. That night after the day wedding, I organized a party for everyone at a Biergarten in Leavenworth. Everyone had a great time. Leavenworth is a town well worth visiting.
Haven’t been in WA for years, but I fondly remember the breweries!
Just made your recipe and damn it's good! We halved it because it's just my wife and I. We like our drinks only SLIGHTLY sweeter so we added about 2 tbs of brown sugar and a dash of cinnimon to the hot beer mix. We used ground ginger since we didn't have real ginger and our local store was out of Samual Smith but they had Sam Adams winter lager. It obviously wasn't exactly your recipe but pretty close. My wife isn't a big beer drinker and she loved it. Thanks for the awesome video and the recipe :)
