Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.

Turn some sugar and water into a homemade treat. How about homemade vanilla ice cream for a made-from-scratch root beer float?

ingredients
1 teaspoon dry active yeast
1 cup lukewarm water, plus more to fill container
2 cups granulated sugar
2 tablespoons root beer extract
1/4 cup raisins
directions
Combine the yeast and warm water in a bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes.
In another bowl or large measuring cup, combine the sugar and root beer extract and mix well. Add the yeast and water to the sugar mixture and mix to start to dissolve the sugar.
Transfer the yeast mixture to a 1-gallon jug or pitcher with lid. Add enough lukewarm water to fill the container 1-inch from the top. Add the raisins.
Gently shake the jug to mix the ingredients (the sugar won't dissolve completely at this point).
Cover the container and place it in direct sunlight or other very warm area for 3 hours.
Move the container to the refrigerator after 3 hours and chill overnight (for at least 8 hours or up to 2 days).
The root beer can be consumed the next day. Strain out the raisins when pouring the root beer.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

I think this recipe needs to ferment longer to remove the yeasty taste. I let it sit overnight and it was much better.

This recipe tasted like medicine to us. There was a bad after taste and it just wasn't very palatable.
