Description
This is the kind of Sarsaparilla used in Ayurveda - the Indian herbal method. The texts refer to it as 'external root' because it spreads for long distances underground. It's a climbing shrub bearing brilliant red flowers that can be found throughout the Indian subcontinent in dry tropical biomes and beyond. The root is prized for its sweet and special flavour, tasting like old-fashioned root-beer, it's an important ingredient in many Indian drink recipes.
Anecdotally, this is one of our first choices to make cold-brew tea - it's unique and refreshing. Adding a bit of Licorice root makes it sweet too!
