Servings:
Around 4 cups depending on how much ice you useThis is my “in progress” version of raw Root Beer. I will adding other ingredients in the future to get even a better root-y taste but this turned out pretty tasty!
NOTE: This recipe is for home use only. My bf and I sell this for our raw food home business so this is not for commerical sale use! Please respect that! ;)
Ingredients:
½ teaspoon sarsaprilla root powder
1 tablespoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean
2 cup
water
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
dash of cinnamon
few pieces of fennel or anise oil/powder
ice
6
medjouli dates, remove pits
½ cup plain Kombucha (optional)
Preparation:
Blend all ingredients in blender until well blended. If you are adding the Kombucha, add at the end – it gets foamy. The Kombucha is to add “fizziness” – a replacement for carbonated water. :)

I just made this...only with sarsaparilla herbs, not powder, and with fennel seeds, not powder. My blender isn't the greatest either with pulverizing dates, so I'm straining the whole thing through a nut mylk bag.
...but I must say, it tastes AWESOME!!! Really Like root beer! -minus the fizz, I didn't put any kumbocha as I'm not really a fan.
Thank you :)
