I have been wanting to make root beer (or sarsaparilla, or birch
beer, or some similar thing), but I don't want to take a chance
with sassafras, which may be carcinogenic. Every recipe I have
seen for these things contains sassafras. Even sarsaparilla
extracts/essences usually turn out to be sassafras for some reason
that I don't comprehend. Does anyone here have a tried and true
recipe for making such a beverage (or for an extract to make one)
that doesn't contain sassafras? If so, I'd love to try it.

Thanks,

Why? One would think sarsaparilla extract would at least contain
sarsaparilla. Ditto a drink called "sarsaparilla" must have
started out containing sarsaparilla. Most sarsaparilla extracts,
syrups, etc. don't contain any sarsaparilla and seem to be
sassafras-based. I actually have found ONE formula that avoids
sassafras, but I'd like to hear of something people have actually
made and liked.

I didn't know if what's the taste of root beer yet. But I do love drinking wine especially the rice wine
