Traditional Tudor Era Butterbeer
Prep Time 3 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 13 minutes
Course Drink
Servings 1 mug

Ingredients
  

  • 1 - 12 fl. oz. ale I used Fireside Chat by 21st Amendment
  • 50 g - sugar
  • 1/8 tsp - groung fresh ginger
  • 1/8 tsp - freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp - cloves
  • 2 egg - yolks
  • 10 g - butter

Instructions
 

  • In a small pot, add your beer and spices.  Place the pot on low heat and heat just until warm.
  • While you're waiting for the beer to heat up, whisk your eggs and sugar until it turns pale yellow.
  • Add the egg mixture to the warm beer and put it back on medium to low heat.  With a rubber spatula, gently move the mixture back and forth in the pot to prevent the eggs from cooking.  You're looking for it to heat up to 75C-80C and no higher or the eggs with cook.
  • Maintain the temperature for a few minutes and you'll notice that it will start to thicken up.  Turn off the heat and add the butter.  Stir until melted.  You can use a milk frother to create some foam to top it off or if you're looking for something more decadent, add some whipped cream on top and enjoy!
