Every muggle knows that throwing back a mug of Harry Potter's beloved butterbeer is the perfect way to quench your thirst for magic.

Remember when we showed you how to make those homemade butterbeer lattes from Starbucks a while back?

If those spellbinding sips made you fall harder than a love potion, you might want to pay attention.

It turns out that those drinks aren't the only wizard-approved treats you can conjure up in your kitchen.

TIME magazine just posted a video on its Facebook page that shows you how to make a copycat version of butterbeer right at home so, now, you can get your muggle hands on a mug of butterbeer without waiting in line for 7 hours at The Universal Studios.

Aside from looking insanely tasty, this enchanting recipe seems relatively simple to make.

And let's be real, cooking something magical with a pot and spoon is basically the same thing as using a cauldron and a magic wand to whip up a real potion, right?

Check out the pictures below to see how this delectable drink is made.
