Homemade Root Beer

🌿 Herbs needed:

1 Tbsp sarsaparilla root
1 Tbsp sassafras
2 tsp birch bark
1 tsp dandelion root (I like roasted in this recipe)
1 tsp burdock root
1 tsp fennel seeds (crushed)
1 tsp licorice root
1/4 tsp fresh grated ginger
2 cinnamon sticks
5 star anise pods

Always check with your local herb shops as well! Some of the spices like cinnamon, star anise, fennel, and ginger you can find at most grocery stores.

🍺 Directions:

1. First make your root beer concentrate by gently simmering your herbs in 4 cups of water (covered) for an hour. It should be reduced by at least 1 cup at the end of the hour.

2. Strain it through a fine mesh strainer, add 1 cup of honey, mix to dissolve, and bottle it up.

3. Add 1/2 cup of your concentrate over ice and top with your favorite sparkling water! 🫶 Store your concentrate in the fridge until gone. It’s so ridiculously good!! You’ll never want to buy root beer again!

Enjoy!
