[speyerer]

Does anyone know where I can get Zatarain's Root Beer Extract in the Dallas/Fort Worth area?

Nope but you can go here: http://shop.zatarains.com/zatarains%C...

I grew up on that stuff. I love it.

I'm curious what people use this stuff for. I had some root beer glazed chicken once that used it, which was not something I'd recreate. Do people use it in cooking or is it just for making beverages?

[mrsfury]

I just make root beer with it.

Zatarain's Root Beer Extract: $2.00 + Shipping: $7.77 = Total: $9.77 is a little expensive. That's why I'm looking locally.

[mrsfury]

Gotcha. I thought maybe you were going to get a case.

Nope, we needed a little bit of extract for a a Medifast Root Beer Float. We have been on a diet. Down 50# since the beginning of the year.
Hope to see you on our next visit.

How do you make it? How does the medifast diet work?
