Recipe for root beer (root beer) to make yourself.
Ingredients for beer
4 litres of water
200 - 300 ml molasses
1 teaspoon dry yeast
20 g each of hops, burdock, sarsaparilla, dandelion, sassafras and nard root
Preparation
Crush the herbs with a mortar and pestle or chop in a blender.
Then cover with water, bring to the boil and simmer over a low heat for 20 minutes.
Strain into a large clay pot.
Add the molasses and leave to cool until lukewarm.
Add the dry yeast and stir.
Cover the pot with a cloth and place in a warm place (approx. 25 degrees).
After 2 hours, pour into clean bottles up to 2 cm from the top and seal with metal lids (no corks).
Lay the sealed bottles on their side in a warm place for 5 days, then place them upright in a cool place.
The root beer will be ready to drink in about 10 days and will keep for a whole summer.
