Sassafras Tea

1 small handful of Sassafras roots

Drop 1 small handful of sassafras roots, 3 to 4 inches in length, into a 2 or 3 quart enameled pan and cover with as much water as is desired, depending on the number you wish to serve. Let boil until the tea is dark in color. These roots may be boiled over and over for days as the flavor increases with successive boilings.
