Answer 3

Very difficult to do from scratch, but root beer extract is available from numerous sites on-line as are the directions for making root beer. Essentially you use good water, sugar, and yeast and make beer, flavoring it with a good root beer extract. Take some care with the bottles you select for bottling root beer as some pressure will result from the fermentation process. Jars suitable for home canning will work, but don't use just any old jar.
