Root Beer in the Raw

Around 4 cups depending on how much ice you use

This 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 cups 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. :)

This sounds amazing! I’ll be on the lookout for sasparilla root powder next time I’m at the co-op! Thanks!

I haven’t been able to find the powder at the HFS -I saw the herbs though. I got mine from Mountain Rose Herbs.
