Butterbeer: A Recipe Inspired by Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore's Army is created. Dumbledore's Army was created by Hermoine, Ron, and Harry for Harry to teach others defense against the dark arts. The first meeting place for Dumbledore's Army was the Hog's Head, where butterbeer is a favorite of everyone's. Butterbeer is a non-alcoholic beverage that everyone in Hogwarts loves. It's a sweet, refreshing drink that can be replicated by anyone, including muggles. Below is a clip of Dumbledore's Army first meeting in Hog's Head.

Unfortunately, in this clip they are not drinking butterbeer, but they are in the place that they would in another situation. Below is a recipe used to make your own delicious butterbeer.

1. 1/4 cup of sweetened condensed milk
2. 1/4 up of butterscotch topping
