How to make a root beer float

Root beer floats are yummy. Here's the simple, easy way to make one.

Things You'll Need

• Root beer
• Vanilla ice cream
• A tall glass
• A spoon or straw

Instructions

1. Scoop some vanilla ice cream into your glass. Use as much as you want!

2. Pour your root beer over the vanilla ice cream, filling the glass as much as you can without spilling.

3. Serve with a spoon or straw, or both!

Tips & Warnings

• Putting the ice cream in first and pouring root beer over it creates more foam. For less foam, put the root beer in first.

• Vanilla ice cream is the most popular, but any ice cream can be used.

• Some people eat the ice cream with their spoon, then use their straw to drink the remaining root beer.

• While A&W is known for their root beer floats, I find the best root beer floats are made with Barqs brand root beer, because Barqs has bite.

• For those with a bit of lactose intolerance, watch out for milk in your ice cream. You can easily substitute this with ice cream that is made with skim milk.
