Eddies Homemade Root Beer Recipes

HOBOKEN EDDIE'S ROOT BEER CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place root beer in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the root beer by 1/2, to a syrupy consistency, and set aside.
• Preheat a grill. Lightly oil and season the chicken breasts. Grill the chicken until cooked through and the juices run clear, about 4 to 5 minutes per side.
• To make rice, bring the water to a boil, add the rice and add Hoboken Eddie's sauces to the rice. Add the cinnamon and allspice, mix well, cover, and allow to cook for 20 minutes.
• Slice the bananas and saute them in the butter for approximately 3 minutes.
• To serve, place a spoonful of rice on each plate, top with a chicken breast, and drizzle some of the root beer glaze on top of the chicken. Top the chicken with a thin slice of Scotch bonnet pepper and serve with banana slices.

HOMEMADE ROOT BEER

Steps:

• In a large cooler, mix together the sugar and water, stirring to dissolve sugar completely. Stir in the root beer extract. Carefully place the dry ice into the cooler, and cover loosely with the lid. Do not secure the lid, as pressure may build up.
• Let the mixture brew for about an hour before serving. Leftover root beer can be stored in one gallon milk jugs.

QUICK AND EASY ROOT BEER

• Mix the water and sugar together in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Stir in the root beer extract, and allow to cool for about 15 minutes.
• Pour the root beer mixture into a 1-gallon pitcher or bottle, and slowly pour in the carbonated water. Refrigerate until cold; serve over ice.

HOMEMADE ROOT BEER WITH DRY ICE

Steps:

• Add sugar to water and stir until dissolved then add Root Beer flavoring.
• Add dry ice a few minutes before serving.
• The cane sugar gives it a creamy flavor. I have not experimented with other different Root Beer flavorings, but I hear you can get different kinds at brewery supply stores, or on the internet -- I got mine from the local grocery store (its near the seasonings and flavorings).

REAL HOMEMADE ROOT BEER

Steps:

• Use the funnel to pour the sugar in the bottle.
• Add the yeast.
• Toss the sugar and yeast around in the bottle so it mixes well. Just swish it around, don't shake it violently. Make it so there is a little depression in the center of the dry mixture.
• Add the root beer extract via the funnel.
• Add some of the water by pouring it over the tablespoon so get the extract residue into the bottle.
• Fill up the bottle about half way with some more water.
• Put the cover on the bottle and GENTLY swish to get the sugar/yeast mixture slightly dissolved.
• Add the rest of the water to about 1 to 1-1/2 inches from the top, then cap this TIGHTLY.
• Let stand in a cool place (65 to 72 degrees F) for three to four days.
• Do not shake the bottle or move it around unnecessarily. Leave it be.
• After about 24 hours of brewing itself, the bottle will start to feel hard as the pressure builds.
• After three/four days, the bottle should be very hard -- resist the urge to shake it up or open it, you will ruin your root beer. Place in refrigerator overnight. This arrests the yeast action.
• After chilling, decant into a glass and enjoy.
• Note: There will be leftover yeast in some sludge at the bottom of the bottle. Be careful decanting as you get to bottom of the bottle. That yeast will be skunky.
• Another note: The yeast is still working! Drink this up right away, keep it chilled.
