Default Has anyone ever made Root Beer or Ginger Ale?

Because I think I want to figure out how to make those, even though they can be easily bought in a store. (Virgil's being the best. It doesn't have HFCS, it's creamy and sweet and lovely and goes good in Haagen Daas Ice Cream.)
Here is one recipe http://biology.clc.uc.edu/Fankhauser...er_Ale_Ag0.htm
But it's got booze in it.

http://www.learningherbs.com/ginger_ale_recipe.html
Here's another site. Natural soda sounds interesting. Junk food must have been so much healthier in the past. Or at least they'd try to say that Coco-Cola was a tonic, but it had cocaine in it back then.
I'd like to figure out how to make sarsaparilla and maybe a clear homemade cola, which is odd because I hate the grinded glass/sugar soda taste.
But mostly I'd like ginger ale because ginger beer is too strong and I need something to help my poor stomach.

Homemade root beer is simple and tasty!!
You could purchase a kit to start off with and then, once you know the process you could modify it or use your own ingredients...
I haven't made ginger ale yet, but I do flavor my kombucha with ginger and that gives it a really gingery-aley taste.
I love Reed's extra-ginger, ginger-ale.

I've made ginger ale. It was pretty easy. I just made the syrup and mixed with club soda and some fresh limes.
