Amer Burdock and Aralia

This fermented drink, bitter type is composed of burdock root ( Arctium lappa ) fresh rhizome aralia bare stem ( Aralia nudicaulis ) and rhizome spikenard ( Aralia racemosa ), two native forest plants. We know that under the wrong names of "sarsaparilla" and "high sarsaparilla" aralies these two were once used to flavor beer and most likely entered into the composition of one of the many variations of the traditional root beer .
