Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Syrup

    In a medium saucepan, combine the water, sugar, root beer extract, sarsaparilla root, wintergreen leaves, and vanilla extract. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves.

  2. 2

    Simmer

    Reduce heat and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.

  3. 3

    Strain the Syrup

    Once cooled, strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve to remove the solid ingredients.

  4. 4

    Mix with Carbonated Water

    In a glass, combine 1/4 cup of the syrup with 1/2 cup of carbonated water. Adjust the syrup to your taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Fill the glass with ice and stir gently. Serve immediately.
