Root beer has a fascinating history that dates back to the 18th century in North America. Here’s a brief overview:
1. **Early Origins**: Root beer was originally made using the root bark of the sassafras tree (Sassafras albidum) or the vine of Smilax ornata (sarsaparilla). Indigenous tribes in North America brewed herbal teas from these roots for their medicinal properties.
2. **Colonial Times**: American colonists adapted these herbal teas into what they called “small beers,” which were non-alcoholic beverages made from locally available herbs, barks, and roots. These early versions of root beer varied by region and included ingredients like birch bark, ginger, and wintergreen.
3. **19th Century**: By the 19th century, root beer was often consumed hot and used for its supposed medicinal benefits. It began to be sold in confectionery stores and general stores as a syrup to be mixed with soda water.
4. **Commercialization**: In 1875, pharmacist Charles Elmer Hires developed a recipe for root beer and introduced it to the public at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition in 1876. He began bottling and selling his root beer in 1886, and by 1893, it was widely distributed across the United States.
5. **Prohibition Era**: Non-alcoholic versions of root beer became particularly popular during Prohibition in the 1920s, as people sought alternatives to alcoholic beverages.
6. **Modern Times**: In 1960, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration banned safrole, a key component of sassafras, due to its carcinogenic properties. Since then, most commercial root beers have used artificial sassafras flavoring, but some brands, like Hansen’s, use safrole-free sassafras extract.
