It’s no secret that my kids and I are huge Harry Potter fans (I don’t know what happened with my husband, but we all love him anyways). We love going to the Wizarding World in Orlando, and drinking the butterbeer there is a definite highlight!
I wanted to recreate this drink at home so we can enjoy it while we snuggle up to read Harry Potter books, watch the movies, enjoy on Halloween, or any fun party.
For all of my Harry Potter fans out there, let me know what house you are in the comments. I’m a Ravenclaw!
