Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the carbonated water, brown sugar, and white sugar. Stir gently until the sugars are fully dissolved.

  2. 2

    Add Flavorings

    Add the vanilla extract and root beer extract into the mixture. If using, add the sassafras root bark and wintergreen oil. Stir again to combine all ingredients thoroughly.

  3. 3

    Carbonation

    Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. During this time, carbonate the mixture if you are using a soda maker.

Serving

  1. 4

    Chill and Serve

    Pour the root beer into chilled glasses over ice. You can garnish with a slice of lemon or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.

  2. 5

    Store Leftovers

    If there are any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Consume within a week for best flavor.
