Well, I'm wary about serving my kid anything that might cause liver damage and cancer (sassafras roots). Also, truth be told, I could pass by the plant all day long and never know what I was looking at! However, if you end up making some root beer with sassafras roots, I'd love to try some!
I think my son will enjoy making root beer from extract. Maybe once he gets a bit older, we'll make a more traditional root beer. For now, he's young, and making any kind of soda would be a 'cool' thing. Root beer is the obvious choice, of course.
