Directions
1. Prepare the Root Beer Base
In a large pot, combine the water, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugars are fully dissolved.
2. Add Flavoring
Stir in the sassafras root bark, sarsaparilla root, vanilla extract, and wintergreen oil. Let the mixture simmer for about 15 minutes.
3. Cool the Mixture
Remove the pot from heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
4. Carbonate the Root Beer
Once cooled, strain the mixture to remove the solid ingredients and pour it into a clean fermentation container. Add the yeast and stir gently to combine.
5. Ferment
Seal the container with an airlock or a lid that can release pressure. Let it sit at room temperature for 2-3 days to carbonate.
6. Refrigerate and Serve
Once carbonated, refrigerate the root beer to stop fermentation. Serve over ice and enjoy!
