<<I am thinking it's like apple cider, when you serve it hot, it is warm
and filling, but most times non-alcoholic.>>


Gee, Hasn't anyone here but me made home made soda pop? You mix your
sweetener (Honey or Sugar) with water, and add a bottle of concentrated
flavor. (Available at Brewing Supply stores, along with recipies.) Yeast
is added, and then you bottle it up- the yeast ferments, and that is
what gives it the fizz.

It is very similar to making homemade beer or wine- but only has a few
days to ferment, so very little alcohol is produced.
Non- Alcoholic as far as people are concerned, but I would guess that
house-elves have a much lower tolerance....Hmmm...

I picture it as being sort of butterscotch flavored....
