Step-by-step
- Start by pouring the ale into a saucepan. To keep it from 'exciting' (foaming up), angle the saucepan and gently pour the ale down the side into the pan.
- Stir in the 1 tsp of spices.
- Gently heat until it comes to a boil, before lowering the heat and simmering for a few minutes.
- In these few minutes, whisk together the yolks and sugar.
- Lower the heat even more and add in the yolks and sugar to the ale.
- Let simmer for 3-5 minutes and remove from heat.
- Stir in the butter until fully mixed in.
- With a hand blender, froth the ale until foam forms.
- Let sit to cool.
- Using a spoon, hold back the froth as you pour the butterbeer into the beer stein. Leave about an inch of room on the top, spoon on the froth and serve.
