Eddies Homemade Root Beer Recipes

HOBOKEN EDDIE'S ROOT BEER CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place root beer in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the root beer by 1/2, to a syrupy consistency, and set aside.
• Preheat a grill. Lightly oil and season the chicken breasts. Grill the chicken until cooked through and the juices run clear, about 4 to 5 minutes per side.
• To make rice, bring the water to a boil, add the rice and add Hoboken Eddie's sauces to the rice. Add the cinnamon and allspice, mix well, cover, and allow to cook for 20 minutes.
• Slice the bananas and saute them in the butter for approximately 3 minutes.
• To serve, place a spoonful of rice on each plate, top with a chicken breast, and drizzle some of the root beer glaze on top of the chicken. Top the chicken with a thin slice of Scotch bonnet pepper and serve with banana slices.

ROOT BEER (HIRES HOME BREWED)

Steps:

• Pour extract over 4 lbs of sugar. Mix well. (Vary amounts of sugar and extract to taste).
• Dissolve mixture in 4 3/4 gallons of lukewarm water.
• Mix 1/2 tsp of dry active yeast in a pint of lukewarm water. Allow to stand 5 minutes. Stir well and strain through cheesecloth. In cool weather (under 70F) double the amount of yeast used. In hot weather (over 90F) cut the amount in half.
• Add the yeast mixture to the solution of sugar, extract, and water. Mix well and pour into sterilized bottles immediately. Fill bottles to within 1/2 inch of the top to minimize spoilage caused by excess air. Cork bottles securely or seal with crown or stopper.
• Place bottles on their sides in warm place(70-80) until effervescent. (If set in a cool place immediately the beverage will sour and remain flat.) The product should be ready to drink in about 5 days (longer in cooler weather.) Move the bottles to a cool place. Refrigerate just before drinking. The beverage will have a slight yeast flavor and contain some sediment. Do not filter.
• For best results - use only returnable type carbonated beverage bottles.
