Butterbeer

Ordered by: Myself

I came across Butterbeer through a YouTube video of a tour of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando and thought it sounds absolutely yummy. Hello? Beer and butter? I then found out that this drink actually exists. 
Butterbeer was a real drink. The earliest reference to Buttered Beer is from, 'The Good Huswifes Handmaide for the Kitchin' published in London in 1588 A.D.,made from beer, sugar, eggs, nutmeg, cloves and butter back in Tudor times. (Via harrypotter.wikia.com)
Victorian recipes have always intrigued me. Maybe it is time to whip up some of my dusty victorian recipes.
