Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Sugars

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Mix well until thoroughly combined.

  2. 2

    Add Carbonated Water

    Slowly pour in the carbonated water to the sugar mixture while stirring continuously. This will help dissolve the sugar.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Flavorings

    Add the vanilla extract, root beer extract, sarsaparilla extract, wintergreen extract, anise extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well blended.

Chilling and Serving

  1. 4

    Chill the Root Beer

    Once mixed, cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to chill. This will enhance the flavors.

  2. 5

    Serve the Root Beer

    Pour the chilled root beer into glasses filled with ice. Optionally, top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a float.
