Rootbeer Preparation

1

Creating the Rootbeer Base

In a medium saucepan, combine sarsaparilla root, birch bark, nutmeg, cinnamon, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

2

Simmering the Mixture

Reduce heat and let the mixture simmer for about 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

3

Sweetening the Base

Remove from heat and strain the mixture into a large bowl. Stir in the sweetener and vanilla extract until dissolved.

4

Cooling Down

Let the mixture cool to room temperature. Once cooled, add the lemon juice.

5

Final Touch

Mix in the carbonated water just before serving, stirring gently to combine.
