Make your own root beer at home with the best root beer extract New Orleans has to offer.
Made with natural and artificial ingredients this delicious sweet and creamy flavor will have you coming back for more.
The original recipe was first introduced over a century ago by a New Orleans store owner, Emile Zatarain.
Locals quickly took to the concentrate partly due to ingredients thought to be of great hygienic value, they would buy like crazy!
Therefore, it soon became a staple in the homes of countless families in and around New Orleans who wanted to brew their own root beer at home.
Following the success of his concentrate, Emile started marketing other products.
Some of which are still around today, such as his creole mustard.
Emile Zatarain’s root beer extract would soon start a snowball effect, as a result, the company is now known worldwide!
Substitute vanilla in your favorite recipe for the best bread pudding you’ve ever had.
Also is great to liven up other recipes such as:
Your dessert will be the hit of the party.
Even with that being said, the same original recipe is still just as great!
With the hectic life of society, today home cooks long for recipes that are quick and easy.
However, not all quick and easy recipes result in something tasty.
The original recipe is quick, easy, and most importantly, delicious!
In a medium saucepan, bring water to boil.
Secondly, add sugar and stir frequently until dissolved.
Next, add the extract and stir until completely mixed.
Then, let cool and refrigerate.
Once, you’re ready to serve, pour the mixture into a pitcher and slowly pour in the seltzer water or club soda.
Lastly, enjoy immediately to stop your homemade root beer from becoming flat.
We mix the root beer in an airtight container.
As a result, the carbonation doesn’t escape as easily and stays fresh longer.
All authentic Louisiana meats and specialties from CajunFood.com are prepared according to generational bayou recipes. Here are our smokehouse pitmaster guidelines for best flavor:
Submerge links in barely simmering water (do not boil hard or casings will burst) for 10–12 minutes until heated through (internal temp 160°F).
Preheat to 375°F. Lightly brush casings with butter or oil. Cook for 10–14 minutes, turning halfway through until the skin is delightfully crispy.
Place over indirect, medium-low heat on pecan or hickory coals. Turn frequently for 8–10 minutes until casings are taut and lightly charred.
Thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Transfer to a heavy Dutch oven or saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until hot and bubbling.

Living in Colorado, finding real Louisiana boudin and smoked meats is impossible. CajunFood shipped this packed hard in dry ice. Steamed it in a pot for 12 minutes and the rice/pork balance and cayenne spice level were perfection.
Was skeptical about ordering frozen food in the summer heat, but the cooler had plenty of dry ice remaining. Air fried at 375°F for 12 mins and had the crispiest, juiciest sausage links ever.
My family is from St. Martinville. This is the real deal—no fillers, authentic seasonings, and great smoke flavor. CajunFood is my go-to online store now.
