Sarsaparilla Root Tea
Manufacturer suggested retail price MSRP:
Current price $6.95
Sarsaparilla tea has been around for a long time, and once you try it, it's not hard to see why it stuck around. Brewed from cut and sifted Smilax aristolochiaefolia root, the cup comes out smooth and earthy, with a natural sweetness and just a hint of spice underneath. Many people taste something close to vanilla or old-fashioned root beer. That's not a coincidence. This one has roots in something familiar.
You'll find sarsaparilla in old herbal tonics, classic sodas, baked goods, tea blends, and extracts. It's the kind of flavor that moves easily between recipes. Brewed plain, it's mellow and grounding. Earthy, but not heavy. Sarsaparilla root tea is sweet enough on its own that you can skip adding anything if you prefer.

-
Does it contain caffeine?
It does not. Sarsaparilla root does not contain caffeine, which is part of why it holds up as both a daytime and a late-evening drink. You get the warmth of an herbal tea any time you want. -
What does it taste like?
The flavor is smooth and earthy, with a mild sweetness and a quiet spice. Most people catch a hint of vanilla or root beer in there; there's something old-school about it. -
Can it be blended with other herbs?
Yes, and it blends well. You can use cinnamon, ginger, licorice root, and vanilla. All of these sit comfortably alongside sarsaparilla's warm, slightly spicy base. -
How strong should I brew it?
Start with 1 teaspoon and 4 minutes. From there, steep it longer or add a little more root if you want it stronger. It's pretty forgiving. -
Can I sweeten it?
Definitely. Honey and maple syrup both complement the spice nicely. Plain sugar works too; whatever keeps it simple.
