If Mountain Rose cciuld sell a mix for root beer that would be amazing. Seeing all these bags, im sure its a pretty penny to buy each bag by itself to make the tea.

We have sassafras trees here in Oklahoma! You can also dry the leaves and grind for file' gumbo. 🌿🌙💚

This is so beautiful! Thank you.
One thing I want to say -- that "white powder" Stevia irritates my bladder. I can feel it, and it feels really awful. Stevia from the garden is just fine. It's that isolated chemical problem! Love to you.

I prefer the leafs as well

As a child in MA, we would play house in the woods and i would pull up the sassafras sapling and the smell of the root was soooo lovely!!

I would love to know if I could make this with my ginger bug and let it ferment naturally

[@cynthiatalbert3037]

I can't wait to make some 💚🌙🌿

I must have missed it, but how much water did you use to simmer?

[@leeannrobinson-boswell1078]

Would this be good to make as a second fermentation with keifer water?

[@lesleelytle989]

Could you use a ginger bug instead of sparkling water.

[@sheilariffey947]

How much of your blend did you use for amount of tea you made.

[@itoobable]

yes, I was wondering how much water per herbal mixture too. that looks like a lot of herb for the amount of finished liquid, so I assume only a portion was used.

[@mindalick8867]

Source for your herbs please?

[@prayerwarrior424]

Can you turn this fizzy making it a Kombucha? Or using a soda stream to make a soda?

[@l.a.keller]

The seltzer water is bubbly and works perfectly as a soda substitute.
