Root beer is a very good drink, what most people don't know is that root beer is made out of the root of a tree.
Ingredients in early root beers included allspice, birch bark, coriander, juniper, ginger, wintergreen, hops, burdock root, dandelion root, spikenard, pipsissewa, guaiacum chips, sarsaparilla, spicewood, wild cherry bark, yellow dock, prickly ash bark, sassafras root, vanilla beans, hops, dog grass, molasses and licorice. Many of these ingredients are still used in root beer today (especially sassafras), along with carbonation. There is no one recipe. Root beer recipes vary tremendously.
