Ingredients for Abita Root Beer

Method

Instructions for Making Abita Root Beer

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the carbonated water and sugar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.

  2. 2

    Add Flavors

    Add the root beer extract and vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir well to ensure the extracts are evenly distributed.

  3. 3

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in a few tablespoons of warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Add the frothy yeast mixture to the root beer base. Stir gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Ferment

    Cover the mixture with a clean cloth and let it sit at room temperature for 24 to 48 hours. Check regularly for carbonation.

  6. 6

    Bottle the Root Beer

    Once carbonated to your liking, carefully transfer the root beer into clean bottles, leaving some space at the top. Seal the bottles tightly.

  7. 7

    Chill and Serve

    Refrigerate the bottles for at least 4 hours before serving. Serve over ice in glasses for the best experience.
