Sarsaparilla is a classic American infusion traditionally made from birch bark and sassafras root. Other countries use different flavor profiles in their sarsaparilla. Some of the ingredients can be hard to find in a local grocery store but they can readily be purchased from reputable sources on the internet.

This recipe makes a thick, sweet syrup you can mix with club soda, use in co*cktails, or naturally ferment. Sometimes I will leave out the brown sugar so I can enjoy the infusion without all the additional sugar. It can be served with club soda or as a way to add complexity to co*cktails that don't need more sweetness.
