Best Home Made Root Beer

From the kitchen of: Diane Perkins

Ingredients:
1 Bottle Hires Root Beer Extract
5 lbs. sugar
4 gals. water

Mix ingredients thoroughly. Add 50 cents worth of dry ice, chopped in smaller pieces.

Note from Jen: Here's another fun summer recipe. I've never made root beer before. But I bet that dry ice is more expensive than 50 cents now.
