3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup hot water
1 quart cold seltzer water
1/2 teaspoon root beer concentrate (McCormick is what I use in the grocery store spice ile)
1/8 teaspoon root beer concentrate (yes, more of this stuff)
Dissolve the sugar in the hot water.
Add the 1/2 and the 1/8 teaspoon of root beer concentrate and let it cool.
Combine the cold root beer mixture with the seltzer water.
Pour into a glass and drink.

1 gallon water
2 cups water (for making extract)
2 ounces fresh gingerroot
2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon yeast
Slice the ginger into thin sections and add them to two cups of boiling water.
Simmer this on very low heat for 20 minutes.
While this is simmering, boil the gallon of water and two cups of sugar for one minute and set aside.
Pour the ginger and liquid into a blender and blend on high for about one minute.
Pour this blend into the sugar water, through a strainer.
With a soup ladle, pour a few cups of the hot brew through the remaining pulp to extract a bit more of the ginger flavor.
Cool to room temperature. When cool, add vanilla, yeast and stir until dissolved.
Let sit for about 30 minutes.
Then bottle and age.
The simplest, safest and least expensive method of bottling is to use one-liter plastic soft drink bottles with screw caps.
These can be sterilized by rinsing in a mixture of household bleach and water and then rinsed with clean water.
After filling, the bottles should be set aside at room temperature for about 48 hours, or until hard (check by squeezing).
Then refrigerate to finish the aging process.
Leaving the bottles at room temperature too long will cause over carbonation.
Using glass rather than plastic bottles can cause shattered bottles.
Another nice feature of the plastic bottles is that they can be re-carbonated if only partially consumed.
Just let it sit out over night with the cap on and refrigerate it when hard.

Recipe for one gallon. Please read instructions before starting.
# Equipment Mixing Spoon
# 6-8 Quart Sauce Pan
# Kitchen Funnel
# Measuring spoons
# Measuring Cup
# 2-3 gallon Pail
# Unscented Bleach
# A clean one gallon plastic milk jug
# 8-16 oz. PET Beer bottles
# Ingredients 1 Cup White Table Sugar
# 1-1/2 Cup Dark Brown Sugar
# 2 tablespoons Malto Dextrin
# 1 tablespoon Root Beer Extract
# 1/4 teaspoon Champagne Yeast
# 1 Gallon of Cold Water
1. Clean all equipment with soap and water. Rinse very well.
2. Prepare a sanitizing solution in a clean utility pail by mixing 2 teaspoons of unscented bleach with 2 gallons of cold water. Soak all equipment including bottles and caps in this solution for at least 10 minutes. Remove your equipment and rinse it well with hot water.
3. Fill a one gallon container with cold water. Now remove 1 cup of water from the jug and discard it. All of the water required for the recipe is now in the gallon container. Measuring the water in this way will save time and prevent you from adding to much or to little water later.
4. Place 4 cups of water from the container into a sauce pan and begin to heat it. It is not necessary to bring the water to a boil. Heating this small amount of water will help dissolve the sugars and will make a better soft drink.
5. Add the white sugar, brown sugar and malto dextrin to the sauce pan and stir until the sugars are completely dissolved. Once the sugar is dissolved turn off the heat.
6. Add 1 tablespoon of Root Beer Extract to the sauce pan and stir it in.
7. Add the remaining water to the sauce pan and stir well. Check the temperature of the mixture by carefully touching the outside of the pan. It should be cool to slightly warm. It may be necessary to allow the pan to sit covered for a short time in order to cool.
8. Open the packet of champagne yeast by cutting off a corner. Measure out 1/4 teaspoon of yeast and add it to the sauce pan. Close the yeast packet by folding over the open corner and sealing it with tape. Store the remaining yeast in the refrigerator for the next batch.
9. Stir the sauce pan until the yeast is completely dissolved. You are now ready to bottle your root beer.

I saw this kit that cost 20 bucks at JCPenny's and you could brew your own root beer with it. But for 20 bucks you could buy a ton of Barq's or A&W anyway.

I bought a kit from Edmund Scientifics once to make root beer. Find their website and you can order one too.
