(2) The soda they drank was made from the sassafras tree. (3) They made this beverage from the sassafras's trees roots , which have a strong, sweet smell. (4) The colonists boiled the roots with molasses and herbs to make root beer, which is also known as sarsaparilla. (5) Of course, this drink, which lacked processed sugar tasted far less sweet than the root beer people drink today. (6) The recipe for sarsaparilla varied widely depending on who was making it; still, the drink remained a favorite for many years. (7) It was especially popular in the Old West.
