Here is my float. As you can see, I don't have fancy tall glasses in which to serve them, so we used our Magic Bullet mugs. I do have the long spoons for iced tea, though, which work great for scooping out ice cream. And, of course you gotta have the crazy straw!
Root Beer Floats
Ingredients:
Vegan vanilla ice cream - we used Soy Dream
Natural root beer soda with no corn syrup or artificial colors or flavors - we used Hansen's
Directions:
In a large mug or glass, scoop two large scoops of ice cream. Top with root beer. Wait for the fizz to die down a bit, and add some more root beer. Enjoy with a spoon and straw. Feeds five hungry vegans or however many you have in your home.
yum! i love root beer floats but haven't had one in years.
ReplyDeleteRoot beer is one of those things I've always wanted to like — I like the name, and there are a bunch of cool companies that make 'real' root beer. Plus everyone else seems to like it. But, alas, even the smell of root beer makes me want to . . . you know. So, I guess I won't be having a root beer float any time soon, but it sure looks refreshing!
ReplyDeleteI love Root Beer Floats. Think about them all the time in fact, but for some reason I have been to able to resist making one for several years.
ReplyDeleteKelli, it's easy to forget about these old favorites. Make one this weekend!
ReplyDeleteAndrea, like fennel, I'm guessing? :-)
SV, oh, you gotta do it. Astonishingly easy to do!
The straw is a nice touch! Root beer is the only kind of soda I ever drink - I have one every few months, and I love it until I am ready for another one a few months later.
ReplyDeleteJenny, I haven't drunk a soda in about two years, so this float was a nice treat for me! Gotta have the straw. :-)
