Ingredients

1 bottle root beer extract (or concentrate)
3 to 5 pounds sugar
5 gallons water
6 to 8 pounds dry ice

Directions

Dissolve sugar and root beer extract in half of the water. Warm water works best for dissolving the sugar. A long wooden dowel makes a good stick for stirring. When the sugar is dissolved, add the remaining water, stirring well. Slowly add dry ice, broken up into small chunks. Stir while adding the dry ice so it doesn't freeze at the bottom of the container. Start mixing root beer about one hour before serving time. Serves 40.
