Preparation Instructions

    Cover the mixture with a clean cloth and let it sit at room temperature for about 12 to 24 hours, allowing the yeast to ferment the sugar.

    After fermentation, carefully pour the root beer into a clean bottle, leaving a little space at the top. Refrigerate for a few hours. Serve over ice.
