Root beer is an incredibly popular soft drink across America that gets its delicious vanilla and cherry flavour from sassafras (or more commonly as here, sarsaparilla bark). This plant is native to the US, and combined with liquorice, birch, star anise and coriander makes a fabulous sweet-scented syrup full of complex flavours.

Definitely give this a go. I love root beer but know soft drinks aren’t good for me. Making this drink myself I can choose how much sugar to add and enjoy all the familiar root beer spice flavours.
