Learned about the staghorn sumac last year since I saw it everywhere when I moved to where I live now. Can't wait for it to come back as I know what I'm looking at from the beginning now! Great video :)

Handed down to me from my elders : Sumac, Birch water, seasonal fruits and berries set for 24hrs A cheese cloth And squeeze out the water ...This was used as a cold tea Boiling it would destroy the very reason you drink it

Birch water? Do you tap the birch?

@freakyflow Ай бұрын

@@brainfreeze1925 no need to really tap it the way you would maple. Grandfather use to make a V - cut with a hunting knife Then make a small hole tapping the back of his knife above the V Then pull the V upwards making a spout The water would drip down the hole over the V And into a can he tied to the tree...After a few hours you would have about two mouth fulls of water..He would then Take a small branch And fill the hole So the tree would not lose its stored water Also remember This is in spring time Normally after a few rain falls And the perma frost is gone

Thanks. The zaatar is not a spice mix, it’s food. We create spread from zaatar mixture + olive oil then coat a toast bread slice, or bake on a dough like pizza. Yummmmm. Very good for cognitive abilities and memory

@deborahcampbell9602 Жыл бұрын

You should soak 1hr to kill any bugs or rwmove debris but try to just soak resit stirring place in cool for aprox 1hr strain pour into old T-shirt or cheese cloth wrap into secure ball tie with string(makes cleaning up a breeze) then rest of ingredients/ sugar&chopped raisins with strawberries lemon/orange slices is what i like pinch of salt I brew on stove 15 minutes covered! Then chill in freezer Removing cover when cover feels cool let liquid fall into container (vitamins ect.)ready to enjoy *use honey in place of sugar its great to!

I know this is an old comment, but I recommend just finding out what variety you have and go from there. I have prairie flameleaf sumac near me and they are edible

Are all the wild sumac the same because I thought the wild sumac is poisonous?

@rarefruit2320 Жыл бұрын

There are several different trees called sumac. I believe they all have poisonous parts but the ones called poisonous sumac are totally different and are now considered to be in a different family. Poisonous sumac has little green or white berries. I believe all parts are poisonous to many animals so be careful with pets. If dogs chew on a sumac stick it will make them very sick
