Steps
Boil 500ml (2 cups) water in a large saucepan.
Add the root beer blend.
Put the heat on low and cover for 60 minutes.
Remove from the heat.
Add sugar and mix until dissolved.
Add the remaining water until it reaches 3 litres of liquid. Your liquid should still be warm.
Add ginger bug, vanilla extract and molasses.
Mix well.
Filter with a nut milk bag or coffee filter.
Bottle it in pressure-resistant bottles, and keep them closed tightly shut at room temperature to start the second fermentation.
After 24 hours, test the fizziness by opening a bottle slightly, then closing it immediately.
If it's fizzy enough, put the bottles in the fridge to stop the fermentation.
If it's not, keep your bottles at room temperature and retest the next day until it's sparkling enough.
