 Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the root and/or bark used in root beer? >>>

I believe that that is correct. I had a good link or article submitted to the Florilegium on this, but since it was both New World and post-period, I didn't end up using it.

I could probably dig it up if anyone asked, but there is probably lots of other info online about making root beer out of sassafrass.
