Ingredients

For this homemade root beer recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

1 gallon filtered water
2 cups sugar (white or brown, depending on preference)
1/4 cup sassafras root or root beer extract
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon yeast (champagne yeast is preferred for carbonation)
Additional flavorings (like wintergreen, birch, or sarsaparilla, optional)

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your own homemade root beer:

Start by boiling about 1 quart of the filtered water in a large pot. Once boiling, add the sugar and stir until completely dissolved. This creates your simple syrup.
Remove the pot from heat. Add the sassafras root or root beer extract, along with the optional flavorings if desired. Stir the mixture well and let it cool for about 30 minutes.
After the mixture has cooled, pour it into a clean 2-liter bottle, leaving some space at the top. Then, add the remaining water to the mixture.
Next, sprinkle the yeast over the mixture in the bottle. Cap the bottle tightly to ensure that the carbon dioxide produced by the yeast will remain in the liquid.
Allow the root beer to ferment at room temperature for 48 to 72 hours. Check for carbonation by squeezing the bottle; once it feels firm, it’s ready for refrigeration.
Once refrigerated, your homemade root beer is ready to be enjoyed. Pour over ice and delight in the frosty sensation of a traditional treat from the comfort of your home!

Indulge in your homemade root beer and share the experience with family and friends. This simple yet satisfying recipe will surely impress and leave everyone asking for more!
