Original Recipe Yield 8 servings

Ingredients

2 cups water
3 cups white sugar, or to taste
2 tablespoons root beer extract
2 liters carbonated water

Directions

Mix the water and sugar together in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Stir in the root beer extract, and allow to cool for about 15 minutes.
Pour the root beer mixture into a 1-gallon pitcher or bottle, and slowly pour in the carbonated water. Refrigerate until cold; serve over ice.
