Homemade Butterbeer

Like every self-proclaimed Harry Potter, I've dreamed of the day when I'd receive my Hogwarts letter and thereafter make it Hogsmeade during my third year so I could venture into The Three Broomsticks and try butterbeer. Unfortunately, I never recieved said letter and I don't have the funds to travel to Harry Potterland, so it seemed my dreams would have to wait. Until anyway, after perusing my bucket list, I decided I ought to check some of the things off that are within my power. If I couldn't buy butterbeer, I was going to make butterbeer.

And I did last night and it was delicious! I did some research on the internet and found what claimed to be the top butterbeer recipes. Instead of using one, I decided why not have a little good of everything and just combine them together. Thus, since my exact recipe cannot be found anywhere, I've decided to share it all with you lovely people.

Ingredients:
5 tablespoons butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp rum extract
3/4 heavy whipping cream
1/8 salt
Cream Soda

Instructions:
1. In a saucepan on medium heat, whisk together the butter, brown sugar, whipping cream, and salt. Let it simmer for 5-6 minutes.

2. Remove from heat and mix in the vanilla and rum extract. Let it cool to about room temperature, or as in my case, till you're sick of waiting after about ten minutes.

3. Put a tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom a glass, pour in your cream soda, and wallah! You have made butterbeer.

Ta-da! That's really it! Pretty easy and very tasty. Hopefully, you have an easier time finding the rum extract than I did. Because this is Utah, some prick hid the stuff in the back. People. Seriously. There is no alcohol in rum extract.
