As kids in Tennessee we used to pick the ripe berry clusters of the sumac and make tea which was very sour but with lots of sweetener tasted terrific. Is this something considered dangerous? It was supposed to have very high levels of vitaminC and nobody ever got sick. The tea was a lovely pink color like pink lemonade. The berry clusters were kept in paper bags and didn't spoil but did tend to fall apart as they dried, We had sumac tea all winter for colds and loved it. Anyone else familar with sumac tea?
Not at all. Lots of people use sumac fruit/flowers to make tea and spice foods. It has a nice lemony taste. It's delicious if you grind it up and put some on rice. If you want to really make it lemony you can kick it up by also adding lemon juice to the rice.
