Regardless of my origins, I have nurtured a life-long love of root beer. I know it's not to everyone's taste, but I can't get enough of the stuff. Literally. Root beer is not a thing here in France.
So imagine my delight when I stumbled across six cans of A&W in the 'foreign foods' section at the supermarket yesterday! It would seem that the tourist season has some benefits after all.
Coincidentally, I was participating in a discussion on junk food in one of my online study groups, and a friend posted this: http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2012/08/diy-root-beer-how-to-brew-your-own-root-beer-recipe.html
Finding the ingredients may prove to be a challenge, but I'm willing to give it a go. I'll let you know how I get on, Internet.
Love,
bob
