    My dad made root beer in the 50s and 60s. He mixed it up in an old ringer washer, bottled it up in old beer bottles. laid those bottles out in the sun on the lawn to ferment. Delicious!!

      @@davidblades6840 So am I, no luck so far. There're one or two craft root beers on the market that come close but, they are too expensive for daily consumption.

      Isn't Sassafras an illegally substance, or band 🤔 by the government.

    You don't press the botanicals like he did. When you make root beer from sassafras root and other botanicals, you don't want anything from the skins of the botanicals (tannins). So, you try not to bruise them. You just steep and remove. Also, when you're pouring the syrup out of the container, you leave a small amount in the container, because if you pour slowly the tannins will stay toward the bottom.

    I'd like to see your take on root beer's cousins like birch beer and sarsparilla as well.

    If you press it it will pull to much tannins. No press the tea bag

      Tannins are not good for the “tea”?

    • @dwilmot
      @dwilmot 3 месяца назад

      If you press the brew bag, (tea) you will extract a lot more tannins from the brew bag.
      By doing so, it makes it bitter and may give you an off flavor.

      If this was a steeping bag full of conventional tea leaves, such as Orange Pekoe or Black Tea, then you would definitely be adding the tannins to the "tea". But since this is a blend of other roots and spices which do not contain TEA LEAVES then there would be no tannins present. Although in the video it is called "making a tea", this is nothing like Lipton Tea or anything you would drink while having your Tea & Crumpets at Tea Time.
      Squeeze away to your heart's content and get all the flavor you can from the roots & spices!

      It's like a caramel-flavored soda.

      It's a sweet carbonated drink made with roots, barks, and spices. Usually sassafras and sometimes cherry bark, wintergreen, and licorice root. similar to a cola.

      It's a whole experience. I'm also European and lived in Japan and I can tell you this is a highly polarizing drink ... At least outside of the US. People either love it or hate it.
      It may taste like a medicinal concoction to somebody and exotic spices to somebody else. My advice: try it! Absolutely. You may throw up or you may fall in love like I did. 😅

      Long story short: Native Americans used to make tea from roots, particularly sassafras and sasparilla. Colonist saw that and said, "let's soda that shit." It is an acquired taste, which most Americans acquire as children. It is particularly good with vanilla ice cream for the infamous "root beer float."
