Wintergreen is/was also used in root beer. Some years ago I spent a
lot of time searching for 'authentic' root beer recipes... what a
minefield that turned out to be, I don't think I saw any two
'authentic' recipes that were the same In the end, I finally found
an extract with the right kind of ingredients (not easy, due to the
'toxic' ingredients) and brewed from that.
Came out wonderful, perfect. I still have half a bottle of that
extract, I should make some more soon.
