Butterbeer was a popular wizarding beverage described as tasting “a little bit like less-sickly butterscotch.”
It had a very slight alcohol content, which could get house-elves fully drunk, but seemed to have a less pronounced effect on humans.
JK Rowling identified witchy sounding names for example toadflax, goutwort, grommel, and others in Culpeper’s Complete Herbal, a famous book of herbal lore from the 1600s.
