Different thing. Root Beer is a non-alcoholic soft drink based around herbs and extracts like sasparilla and vanilla. It's a bit darker flavor than a cola, usually doesn't have caffeine, and is sweeter than a cola or most other sodas. (Actually the sugar content isn't any higher, but the flavors give that impression to many folks) There are many recipes for it, but since mine are in a book I haven't scanned yet I can't provide any right now.

I do have one question, as an Australian I have always wanted to know what Root Beer is? Here in Australia we have Ginger Beer, is this what American's call Root Beer?
