Make This Easy Harry Potter Pumpkin Juice Recipe For 'Back To Hogwarts' Day
Harry Potter pumpkin juice is one of the most iconic drinks in pop culture, but when you're reading about it, it's hard to imagine what it actually tastes like — that's why you have to make it yourself! Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley love to drink this on the train to Hogwarts, or when they're hanging out at the Three Broomsticks. Even if you never got your own letter to Hogwarts, you can still take part in the Wizarding World thanks to this super easy 3-minute recipe.

Within the Wizarding World, pumpkin juice was created by the (fictional) London Pumpkins & Sons in 1837 and has become very popular among Wizarding kind since then. And, of course, when the drink was published in the Harry Potter books, it became very popular in our Muggle world, too!

Yes, pumpkin juice is good for you. Pumpkin's got vitamins and antioxidants, but it can also boost your immune system, protect your eyes, and lower your risk for certain cancers. Peach juice can improve your skin, while pear juice can strengthen your blood vessels.

You might think that Pumpkin Juice tastes similar to a Pumpkin Spice Latte (because that's what I thought), but it's much more vibrant and fruity. Apple cider and pumpkin pie spice add a nice edge to the flavor, while pear and peach juice sweeten the drink without tasting too syrup-like. It's delicious hot or cold, and I could not recommend it enough!
