Ingredients:

  • 4 1/4 inches sassafras root, means 4 pieces sassafras root 1/4 to 1/2-inch inch in diameter
  • 2 quarts water

Directions:

  1. Gather or buy the sassafrass root. Wash roots and cut saplings off where they're green and where the root ends.
  2. Bring water to a boil and add roots.
  3. Simmer until the water is a deep brownish red (the darker the stronger - I like mine strong).
  4. Strain into a pitcher through wire and a coffee filter if you don't want any sediment.
  5. Add honey or sugar to taste.
  6. Serve hot or cold (I like mine ice cold) with lemon and a sprig of mint.
