Check out this foamy homemade, traditional root beer recipe! By the end of this video, you will know how to make root beer the old fashioned way. And yes, this root beer is also fermented! We'll share our favorite recipe, including popular traditional ingredients like sassafras and sarsaparilla.

A quick note on sassafras: Eventually sassafras root was removed from root beer altogether and replaced with artificial flavors due to a study that linked a chemical called safrole to cancer in rats when fed in very large quantities. You can still buy sassafras root bark and many people still make root beer the traditional way. Most likely the amount you’d need to consume is probably not relevant to real life but that’s up to you. Don't fret though! Many other roots can be added to root beer such as ginger root, burdock, dandelion, among others to make a good root beer.

Plus, we may have decided to turn this into a dairyfree root beer float... Yum!
