The secret behind this low carb root beer recipe is choosing a root beer extract that doesn’t contain added sugars. Some of my favorite flavoring extracts I’ve used in the past actually contain some form of sugar in the ingredients list. It’s so surprising all the places that sugar is hiding, isn’t it?
Rich in warm and spicy notes, this A&W-style root beer extract offers a healthier, less sugar drink, made of sassafras root and burdock root. Put the sassafras and burdock roots, coriander seeds, star anise, and clove in a heavy-bottomed 2-quart saucepan that has a tight-fitting lid.
Add 2 scoops of ice cream in a tall glass. Slowly pour A&W Root Beer over ice cream. Garnish with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry. Serve. * Percent Daily Values are based on a 2000 calorie diet.
