Homemade Root Beer


My family made root beer several times when I was young - usually in conjunction with Halloween (dry ice is an excellent addition to any witches brew). Knowing how much my husband loves root beer, I was surprised to find out he had never made it at home before he was married to me. It is very simple and very fun to make.

2 Tbsp root beer flavoring
2 1/2 cups sugar
1 gallon of water
1 lb dry ice

Combing sugar, water, and root beer flavoring in a large bowl; make sure  the bowl holds more than a gallon. The mixture will bubble a lot when you add the dry ice. Carefully add dry ice and stir constantly until it is completely melted. It should take about 15 minutes.
