What does root beer get its flavor from?!
Answers:
Originally from the steeped roots of the sassafras tree!. Modern root beer extract typically contains a safrole-free type of sassafras (safrole was shown to be a weak carcinogen), vanilla, wintergreen, cherry bark, liquorice, sarsaparilla, nutmeg, anise, molasses, cinnamon and clove!. Each root beer brand adds its own unique ingredients also so there is no standard recipe, but the above are the most common ingredients in varying proportions!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
soft drink version of root beer (sarsaparilla) is from flavourings, not natural
