How to Make Root Beer Syrup For Ice Cream Sundae

  1. In a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of root beer and 1 cup of granulated sugar.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Reduce the heat to low, and simmer gently for 45 minutes, or until the mixture has reduced by approximately ¾ and reaches a syrupy consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the syrup cool completely to room temperature.
  5. Once cooled, pour the root beer syrup into an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use. This will keep for up to 2 weeks.
  6. Drizzle generously over your favorite vanilla ice cream.
  7. Garnish with crushed root beer candy, whipped cream, and a maraschino cherry (optional).
