    HOW TO MAKE ROOT BEER WITH DRY ICE

    Making root beer with dry ice is really quite easy and you'll only need these few root beer ingredients:

    • root beer extract
    • water
    • sugar
    • dry ice
    • cauldron or large insulated drink jug like this one from Amazon

    In a large container, mix the sugar and water together until all the sugar is dissolved. Then pour in the root beer extract and give it all a good stir. 

    Carefully add the dry ice into the container and put a loose lid on. You don't want the pressure to build up. 

    Let the root beer brew for about an hour. This will carbonate the drink.

    Now you're ready to enjoy the best homemade root beer recipe!  

    EASY DRY ICE ROOT BEER RECIPE

    Although this diy root beer recipe is really pretty simple to make, if you don't have time to make your own root beer, you can pick up some already made Root Beer and add dry ice to it for a similar effect.

    Don't forget the cauldron or a large insulated jug to keep serve it out of! And  be sure to have a large ladle!
