Ingredients
3 Tbsp. sarsaparilla root (about 1/2 ounce)
1 Tbsp. licorice root
1 qt. purified water
2-3 tsp. dried Stevia leaf -OR-
3-4 Stevia teabags
2 qts. carbonated water
3 Tbsp. sarsaparilla root (about 1/2 ounce)
1 Tbsp. licorice root
1 qt. purified water
2-3 tsp. dried Stevia leaf -OR-
3-4 Stevia teabags
2 qts. carbonated water
ProcedureSimmer the sarsaparilla and licorice root in the quart of water for about 45 minutes. DO NOT BOIL -- it brings out bitter principles. Add the Stevia leaf or teabags and simmer for 15 minutes longer.
Strain the plant material and return the pan to the burner. Simmer on very low until liquid is reduced to half. Remove from heat and strain through a cheesecloth. Will be left with about 12 ounces of concentrate. Chill in refrigerator.
Add two ounces of concentrate to 10-12 ounces carbonated water. Add Stevia extract to taste, if more sweetener is desired.
Yield: About 6 large glasses
Suggestion: May use 2 tbsp. of sarsaparilla and 2 tbsp. licorice root OR add any other barks or herbs of your choice.
