      Title: Root Beer
 Categories: Beverage
      Yield: 1 servings

      5 qt Water
    1/2 oz Burdock root, dried
    1/2 oz Sarsaparilla root, dried
    1/2 oz Spikenard root, dried
    1/8 ts Yeast, granulated
    1/4 oz Hops
    1/2 oz Yellow dock root, dried
    1/2 oz Sassafras root, dried
  1 1/2 c  Sugar

  Simmer herbs in water for 30 minutes. Add sugar, stir to dissolve, and
  strain into a crock. Cool to lukewarm, add yeast, and stir well. Cover
  crock and leave to ferment for about an hour. Bottle as described in
  Soft Drink Tips and store in a cool place. Makes about one gallon.
  *** Notes included with the recipe:  "Root beer extracts, usually in
  an amount suitable for five gallons of beverage, are available from
  Hires, Schilling, and other herb and spice purveyors. These yield a
  drink that's very close in flavor to commercial root beers. Making
  your own infusions, however, allows for experimentation and a
  distinctive 'house' brew. Ours is less sweet than most."

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05

      Title: Root Beer
 Categories: Beverage
      Yield: 1 Batch

      1 oz Sassafras
      1 oz Allspice
      1 oz Yellowdock
      1 oz Wintergreen
    1/2 oz Wild cherry bark
    1/2 oz Coriander seeds
      1 oz Hops
      3 qt Molasses
    1/2 ts Yeast
      4 ga Cold water

  [NOTE: the amount of yeast in our database was 1/2 pt yeast.  That is
  clearly a typo and so I guessed and changed it to 1/2 ts yeast.   This
  has not been tested!]

  Mix together the sassafras, allspice, yellow dock, wintergreen, wild
  cherry bark, coriander seeds, hops and molasses. Cover them with
  boiling water, allow to stand for 24 hours, then filter, add the
  yeast and cold water.

  The beer will be ready in twenty-four hours. Bottle and seal.
  "This is a recipe from a very old (1914) canning, preserving and
  pickling book I have."
