Sarsaparilla recipe

Options
Does anyone know of a recipe for sarsaparilla or a good website for recipes? Any search I do either brings up root beer or sites where you can buy sarsaparilla.
Thanks in advance

    I thought root beer was essentially a sarsaparilla based drink?

    ie made from sarsaparilla root = root beer. No?

    To follow up my own post, I asked an american friend and this is what they had to say:-
    They're not altogether different TASTING but, 'root beer' is made from at least three roots (one of which is sarsaparilla) and 'sarsaparilla' is made only from sarsaparilla-root.

    So although they're different you might get somewhere close by following a root beer recipe and just using more sarsaparilla instead of whatever other roots are listed...?
