Method:

Preparation

Wash the herbs and bruise them thoroughly in a pestle and mortar. Place in a pot, cover with the water and gradually bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes over low heat. Strain into a larger pot then add the molasses and allow to cool to lukewarm.

When the mixture has cooled to about 40°C add the yeast (about 20g) and stir to combine. Cover the pot with a cloth and place in a warm draft-free spot to prove. After about 2 hours pour the mixture into clean bottles to about 1.5 cm of the top. Cap the bottles and place these on their sides in a warm and draft-free spot.

The root beer will be ready to drink in about 10 days, but will keep quite well for an entire summer.
