What Is Butterbeer Made of?: Ingredients for Hot Butterbeer

Before you can prepare and serve this deliciously sweet treat, be sure to grab the following ingredients:

• Unsalted Butter – Any brand of unsalted butter will do!
• Light Brown Sugar – Use this sweet sugar to add a touch of sweetness to the beverage that makes it taste even better.
• Whole Milk – You will need to use around two cups of whole milk for this recipe.
• Butterscotch Instant Pudding – You can grab the Jell-O brand or any other brand, but make sure it’s instant pudding.
• Vanilla – A touch of vanilla adds an incredible taste to this comforting beverage.
• Cream Soda – Don’t forget the cream soda. It pairs perfectly with the brown sugar and butterscotch flavoring.

With these ingredients, you can prepare a Harry Potter-inspired drink that everyone will look forward to sipping.

Can I use almond milk instead of whole milk?

I wouldn’t suggest using almond milk because it will alter the taste and texture of the pudding, which can change the taste of this delicious Hot Butterbeer. If you have an intolerance, Lactaid whole milk is an excellent alternative.

Will I need special equipment for this recipe?

You will need a pot with a heavy bottom, such as a crock pot, and a whisk with measuring cups or measuring spoons. You won’t need a lot of special equipment to assemble this tasty drink.

Can I add anything extra to this beverage?

Definitely. If you want to make it even tastier while adding to its appearance, top it with a dollop or two of whipped cream and then drizzle butterscotch syrup on top. If you don’t have butterscotch syrup, you can always use caramel, which will pair well with this beverage!

Get ready to make the most impressive drink at home with a few ingredients using this Hot Butterbeer recipe. It’s truly delicious and easy enough to make as often as you’d like!
