Sarsaparilla Root Beer Tea


Sarsaparilla root beer tea

The sweet roots of Sarsaparilla and Sassafras formed the basis of original root beers. They were used along with a host of spices, a few of which I include in the spice mix portion of these remedy. The roots not only combine well flavor wise, they have similar and complementary actions as blood purifiers.

Cautions: Sassafras oil contains safrole, which should not be used alone, but the teas whole root have an extended history of use with no reported side effects. Sassafras is a traditional American "spring tonic".
Ingredients:
Anise * Cinnamon * Clove * Dandelion * Orange * Sarsaparilla * Sassafras * Yucca *
Variations:Anise, nutmeg, lime, birch, burdock, yellow dock, licorice
Recipe Instructions: Decoction : This decoction benefits from soaking, especially the sassafras. Soak roots overnight if you have time. Bring to a boil slowly, and simmer, covered on a low heat for at least 20 minutes. Pour off from the top, allowing the brew to strengthen even further throughout the day. Drink 3 cups daily.
