HOMEMADE ROOT BEER RECIPE

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with 10 cups of cold, filtered water.
• Add the herbs while the water is still cold, and bring it up to a boil over medium-high heat.
• Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. If you are choosing to add sassafras bark, wait until the last 10-15 minutes of simmering.
• Turn off the heat and stir in the sugar. Allow the mixture to cool completely.
• Strain the mixture thoroughly with a mesh sieve or cheesecloth.
• Add the kombucha, mix thoroughly, and pour gently into sealable bottles, leaving about two inches of room at the top.
• Let the bottles ferment for two to three days, depending on temperature, then transfer to the fridge and let them sit for another three. The root beer will keep in the fridge for up to three weeks.
