Time 25m

Yield 32

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 cups water
3 oz dried sassafras root
½ oz dried burdock root
1 tsp dried whole coriander seeds
1 whole star anise
1 whole clove
1⁄4 cup not blackstrap dark molasses
4 or 1⁄8 tsp wintergreen flavoring or extract wintergreen leaves
6 cups preferably raw, but granulated white sugar can also be used sugar

Steps:

  • Put the sassafras and burdock roots, coriander seeds, star anise, and clove in a heavy-bottomed 2-quart saucepan that has a tight-fitting lid.
  • Pour the water over the top of the roots and spices and bring to a boil over high heat. Drop the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Add the molasses, stir, replace the lid, and return to a simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, add the wintergreen flavoring or extract, replace the lid and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
  • Line a fine-mesh strainer with cheesecloth, place over a large measuring cup with a pouring spout or a pitcher, and pour the cooled infusion into it to strain.
  • Do not press on the contents, but let the roots rest in the strainer for about 30 minutes before proceeding. While that strains, rinse the pot used for infusion.
  • Measure the sassafras infusion, return it to the rinsed pot and add an equal amount of sugar, by volume, to the pot.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, drop the heat to low and let simmer for 5 minutes. Pour the syrup into canning jars, fix clean, new, 2-piece lids on top and store in the refrigerator up to a year.
  • Use 1 tablespoon of syrup over ice to 1 cup of plain seltzer water. Stir gently. Enjoy!
