This isn't our typical Fun Food entry. This is a real technique for
making rootbeer that requires close attention to the instructions.
Have a blast with this one!
Ingredients:
2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon yeast ## scant teaspoon
2 tablespoon root beer extract
Directions:
Put ingredients in a gallon jug that has been sterilized, with about
a quart of very warm water. Depending on your tap water
quality, you may want to use bottled or filtered water from your
grocery store.
Stir until ingredients are well mixed.
Finish filling the jug with warm water. Let stand six hours
(important: just lay the lid on top, do not screw on). At the end of
the six hours, screw lid on and refrigerate.
Note: Use warm, not hot water. Hot water will kill the yeast.
Rootbeer extract is available in your grocery store in the section
where you would find vanilla extract, orange extract, peppermint
extract, spices, flavorings, etc.
