Root Beer

Glossary:

Root beer is a carbonated drink brewed with sassafras. It can be alcoholic or non-alcoholic, although the term most commonly refers to the non-alcoholic soft drink versions.

Typically today the sassafras is artificial flavoring, but many recipes and processes exist. Other flavoring ingredients commonly found in root beer are licorice, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, vanilla, wintergreen, anise and honey.
