How is root beer made?!


Question: How is root beer made?
Answers:

Root beer is a carbonated, sweetened beverage, originally made using the root of a sassafras plant (or the bark of a sassafras tree) as the primary flavor.

Root beer is made by fermenting a mixture of herbs with sugar and yeast. The fermentation process generates carbon dioxide, carbonating the drink and giving it an effervescent flavor. Numerous companies produce root beer with a wide range of flavors, depending on what herbs they use; it is also fairly easy to make at home, for people who want to experiment with home brewing. Be aware that if you make root beer at home, it can turn out slightly alcoholic; the alcohol content is generally negligible, but if alcohol consumption is an issue for health or religious reasons, you may want to stick with commercially produced root beers.
