I looked … I’ve been talking about this stuff for almost as long as I’ve been on Steepster, so I guess it sneaked into “pantry staple” status without my realizing it, even though the company rebranded (it’s now Ancient Infusions).
Over the years, I’ve tried several additives to the sassafras concentrate—mint in the summer is my favorite; I’ve mentioned cinnamon sticks; tonight, for a lark, I squoze in some lemon and stirred in some brown sugar. The root beer plus citrus scent is delightful but deceiving…they didn’t mesh together as well on the palate. Eh, how do you know if you don’t experiment once in a while?
Thought of you when I saw a bottle of sassafras at Ace Hardware a few days ago!
Interesting place to find it!
