Guidecat's Recipe of the Month

Harry Potter

I tried the original recipe once, but my dad caught me making it and said it was too unhealthy. I don't even like root beer, but my siblings do. The healthy recipe might not be what it really tastes like, but it certainly warms you up!

Butterbeer

Ingredients
Healthy Version

- 2 tablespoons Tang*
- 8 oz. of hot water
or
1 cup 

Original Version

- 8 oz. Root Beer
- 1 to 2 tablespoons melted butter 

Directions for Healthy Version

Mix Tang powder and hot water together.

Directions for Original Version

Mix butter into Root Beer. You can use a microwave to melt the butter.
* Tang can be bought at a U.S. store. (I don't know about Canada or Great Britain.) It is a orange-colored drink mix with 100% Vitamin C. Tang commercials featuring orangutans drinking Tang and kids going crazy after their first sip of Tang. (Not that you would want to know...)
