Preparation Instructions
1. Make the Root Beer Base
In a large pot, combine the water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Once dissolved, remove from heat.
2. Add Flavoring
Stir in the sarsaparilla extract and the seeds scraped from the vanilla bean, along with the whole vanilla bean pod for extra flavor. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
3. Fermentation
Once cooled, sprinkle the yeast over the mixture and stir gently. Cover the pot with a clean cloth and let it sit at room temperature for 24-48 hours to ferment.
4. Bottle the Root Beer
After fermentation, strain the mixture to remove the vanilla pod and any sediment. Pour the root beer into clean bottles, leaving some space at the top. Seal the bottles tightly.
5. Chill and Carbonate
Refrigerate the bottles for at least 3 days to carbonate. The longer it sits, the fizzier it will become.
