Fizzy Butterbeer with Fermentation

This creative take on butterbeer includes the effervescence of homemade ginger beer or kombucha, combined with flavor elements reminiscent of traditional butterbeer, resulting in a unique, refreshing, and slightly bubbly drink.

Ingredients

• 4 cups brewed kombucha or homemade ginger beer (ensure it’s lower in sugar for keto)
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons sugar-free butterscotch syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Optional: 1 ounce vodka or rum for an alcoholic version
• Whipped cream (sugar-free) for topping

Cooking Instructions

1. If making ginger beer, combine 4 cups of water, 2 tablespoons of grated fresh ginger, 1/4 cup of sugar (you can adjust to a keto-friendly sweetener), and 1/4 teaspoon of active dry yeast in a jar. Seal and leave it at room temperature for 1-2 days until fizzy. Strain before use.
2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
3. Stir in the sugar-free butterscotch syrup, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine the homemade ginger beer or kombucha with the flavored butter mixture. For an alcoholic twist, add vodka or rum at this stage.
5. Mix gently to combine all ingredients.
6. Pour into a glass and top with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream.
7. Garnish with additional cinnamon if desired.
