What is ButterBeer?
This term was coined by the Author of the Harry Potter novel series, J.K. Rowling, based on the real “buttered beer,” which was made from beer, sugar, eggs, nutmeg, closeves and butter.
But in relation to Harry Potter, it is a an imaginary warming beverage.
While in the series the drink may have had some alcohol, the beer in Butterbeer doesn’t necessarily refer to alcohol. It is more so referring to the butterscotch and other ingredients.
The beverage does not have to be alcoholic. It can also be sold iced, or even frozen.
Today people have made their version generally concocted of butterscotch, brown sugar, heavy cream, soda water, caramel, etc.
It is also available at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Universal Orlando. Universal does not sell any alcoholic version of Butterbeer.

What's Better Than Homemade Ice Cream?
I have just one simple question for you. What’s Better Than Homemade Ice Cream? This time of the year that answer is really simple. NOTHING. In the heat of the summer, nothing beats ice cream.
One of my fondest memories as a child was taking the old-time ice cream maker out on the back porch and churning ice cream. These were not the electric ice cream makers we have today. I remember taking turns with my brothers and sisters cranking the handle. Mom would make the ice cream and Dad would watch and make sure we kept the rock salt applied and made sure we didn’t stop cranking the handle.
Technology today really does make it easier to make ice cream. You can just plug an ice cream maker in the kitchen and boom ice cream. You can even make it in the freezer. So many ways to make it today. So what makes homemade ice different? The recipes you use of course.
