Root Beer Float and Carbination.?!


Question:

Root Beer Float and Carbination.?

When you mix the Vanilla Ice Cream with the Root Beet soda, does this reaction cancel out the carbination found in root beer? or does it just change into a different form?


Answers:
Root Beer has in addition to the CO2 for carbonation, sassafras roots and bark which contain natural foaming agents; additional foaming agents such as yucca or quillaja extracts, are often added to increase root beer's froth, head or foaminess. With all of these, there will still lots of fizz and foam when vanilla ice cream is added. If you pour root beer first then add the ice cream, it will not froth as much!

The root beer will always have the burp factor. The ice cream only slows it down. I worked in a pizza place, and that is what happened to the floats we made.

dont think too much about it... just make shure you put the icecream in first
