Title: Rosemary's root beer tonic
 Categories: Beverages, Natural, Vegetarian
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      3 oz Sassafras Bark, dried
      2 oz Sarsaparilla, dried
      1 oz Dandelion Root, dried
      1 oz Burdock Root, dried
    1/2 oz Ground Ginger
    1/2 oz Ground Cinnamon
    1/4 oz Orange Peel, dried
 
  This sweet, bracing drink from Rosemary Gladstar Slick is reminiscent
  of old-fashioned root beer, due to the sassafras.  It has a cleansing,
  revivifying effect from the dandelion, burdock and sarsaparilla.
  
  Mix together all ingredients and store in a tightly closed container.
  In a large pot combine 1 quart of water and 4 tablespoons of dry
  mixture. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
  Strain and sweeten with honey or stevia (also called "sweet herb") if
  desired.
  
  Makes about 4 cups
  
  Variation:  For iced tea, chill the simmered mixture, then dilute it
  with 1 quart of sparkling water.  Serve over ice with a twist of
  orange peel.
