Preparation

Directions to Make Boylan's Root Beer

1. Prepare the Sarsaparilla and Birch Bark Infusion

In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of filtered water to a boil. Add the sarsaparilla root and birch bark, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.

2. Strain the Mixture

Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl or pitcher to remove the solid ingredients.

While the infusion is still warm, stir in the sweetener until fully dissolved. Add the vanilla extract and root beer extract, and mix well.

4. Chill and Combine

Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled. When ready to serve, mix with 2 cups of carbonated water.

5. Serve

Pour the root beer into glasses over ice if desired. Enjoy your homemade Boylan's Root Beer!
