Sarsaparilla tastes much like root beer, with a slightly sharper, more earthy flavor and a little like licorice. It’s no wonder: sarsaparilla and root beer were among the 50 or so ingredients that went into making the Native American “root tea” later named “root beer.” To make sarsaparilla tea, simply pour a cup of boiling water over a teaspoon or two of sarsaparilla and let sit for about 30 minutes. Then strain and enjoy.
While pleasant to drink, sarsaparilla was healthful. Native to southern North and Central America, Native Americans, enslaved African Americans, and European Americans have long used sarsaparilla for its flavor and ability to cleanse the blood and cure everything from colds to skin disease. For Native Americans, it even served as an aphrodisiac.

Health Benefits of Sarsaparilla Tea
Sarsaparilla tea is often celebrated for its potential health benefits, making it a popular choice among herbal tea enthusiasts. Traditionally, it has been used to aid in detoxification and boost the immune system, thanks to its natural compounds that help cleanse the blood. Additionally, some studies suggest that sarsaparilla may have anti-inflammatory properties, which can alleviate symptoms of condition such as arthritis or skin issues.
Beyond its purifying effects, sarsaparilla tea is also rich in antioxidants, which play a crucial role in protecting the body's cells from damage caused by free radicals. Regular consumption may lead to improved skin health, as it is thought to enhance skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of blemishes. Combining sarsaparilla tea with other herbal remedies can create a powerful blend that promotes overall well-being.
How to Prepare Sarsaparilla Tea
Preparing sarsaparilla tea at home is a simple and rewarding process that allows you to enjoy its unique flavor and health benefits. Begin with high-quality sarsaparilla root, which can be purchased from specialty health stores or online. To make the tea, steep one to two teaspoons of dried sarsaparilla root in boiling water for about 10 to 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to fully infuse the water.
After steeping, strain the tea into a cup and enjoy it hot, or let it cool to sip on iced. For added flavor, consider mixing in honey, lemon, or other complementary herbs such as ginger or mint. This versatile tea can be enjoyed alone or blended with other herbal teas for a unique taste experience.
