I was wondering if there were any good recipes/info resources for making a birch extract for making soda? Is it as simple as simmering the bark in sugar syrup a la Alton Brown? I've always wanted to try this. We have a lot of birch trees growing in the backyard, and I've noticed whenever I cut one down that it gives off that nice root beer-like aroma.
