Sassafras Soda

This afternoon I made sassafras syrup by combining three cups of my sassafras tea with three cups of sugar. I brought it to a boil and then simmered it until I was happy with the thickness. I combined 4 TB syrup with 8oz club soda to make sassafras soda. It was like a yummy cross between root beer and ginger ale.

Tonight I’m going to add vanilla Ice cream after dinner to make something similar to a root beer float.

I tried growing a Sassafras tree a few times but it always died after I transplanted it out of the pot I had been growing it in. It has a taproot which makes transplanting difficult.

The last time I transplanted one there was a sucker that had grown out of the bottom of the pot in the nursery area and I just left it alone to grow.

Part of the appeal of having a Sassafras tree is being able to say "Sassafras" more often.
