Root Beer Extract, Natural - 8 fl. oz. glass bottle

While historians often credit Charles Hires with formulating root beer, he simply made it popular. It was actually first created in the American colonies from extracts of sassafras and birch bark. The root beer we know today, no longer contains any sassafras since it was determined to be a health risk, but is a blend of wintergreen, vanilla, licorice and other flavors.

Our Root Beer Extract, Natural can be used for a wide range of baking applications including cakes and cookies. One teaspoon is sufficient for your typical cake or cookie recipe.
