Syrup Ingredients

Method

Syrup Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine the sarsaparilla extract, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, molasses, high fructose corn syrup, sugar, and citric acid. Stir until well blended.

  2. 2

    Heat Mixture

    Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally. Allow it to boil for about 5 minutes to help dissolve the sugar and combine the flavors.

  3. 3

    Add Licorice Root Extract

    Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the licorice root extract. Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature.

Final Beverage Preparation

  1. 4

    Mix Syrup with Carbonated Water

    In a large pitcher, combine 1 part of the prepared syrup with 4 parts of carbonated water. For example, if you have 1 cup of syrup, mix it with 4 cups of carbonated water.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Pour the mixture over ice in tall glasses and enjoy your homemade IBC Root Beer. Adjust sweetness by adding more syrup if desired.
