The Easiest Root Beer Recipe in the UK

Okay, so there’s not much root beer in the UK. There’s one brand I can sometimes get, but it’s not great. And it’s way more expensive than any other pop. So my parents sent me a bottle of root beer extract. So I have the root beer flavor, but no fizz or sugar, so it has sat on a shelf for a while as I was trying to find a good recipe.

The other day I had a flash of brilliance. Cream soda already has fizz and sugar, and the flavor will blend just fine with root beer. So a 2 Liter of cream soda + a teaspoon or so of root beer extract = a pretty passable root beer.
