This sweet, bracing drink from Rosemary Gladstar Slick is reminiscent
of old-fashioned root beer, due to the sassafras. It has a cleansing,
revivifying effect from the dandelion, burdock and sarsaparilla.
Mix together all ingredients and store in a tightly closed container.
In a large pot combine 1 quart of water and 4 tablespoons of dry
mixture. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
Strain and sweeten with honey or stevia (also called "sweet herb") if
desired.
Makes about 4 cups
Variation: For iced tea, chill the simmered mixture, then dilute it
with 1 quart of sparkling water. Serve over ice with a twist of
orange peel.
