Just caught this video the other day. Yesterday I tried some more sumac tea without mashing the berries and it was much sweeter this time. Thanks.

Love this, made it often as a boy scout in Michigan. I think I'll grow some now in the yard.

The seeds have a lot of medicinal qualities and health benefits!

Great job! I have to try this. Thanks!

nice! I just learned about sumac berries/tea and husband is bringing me home a bag of berries tonight. I make a lot of tea (herbal, green, black, blooming, fruit, etc) and I have found that hot water will ruin a tea, steeping too long will ruin a tea and the hot and long steeping make it bitter. I look forward to having some wild sumac tea tonight! thanks for the video. :)

Thanks for the video. Those trees grow plentifully here in NW Georgia, and I remember that tea as far back as my childhood days.

Great video sir.

Thanks for the information, Bill. Glad to see a

Thanks for sharing this =) i have to try this out! Looks nice to drink Nick

I'm only one minute and 38 seconds into this video and so far you're the smartest one I've seen do this your video number 3 that I'm watching and everyone else just puts it in a glass with water to smash it the way you do it seems away smarter and I've never heard of sumac before the first video. I want some.

Nice to see a video from you again. You rock! I have a heard time getting the sound up even if i turn my computers sound volume to max.

its time here to collect some to put up, thanks for the reminder and for watching. ..bill

thanks bro, well i went out last night on the pontoon,for a little me time.... caught a channel cat...had my cast iron, corn meal, and oil....had a good meal...and a no stress . ...........billy joe.......

nice vid looks great : )

thanks for the tip billy

Billy a little bug won't hurt you it is protein, lmao good tip, I have propagated lots of the sumac trees for sale, you have to heat the seeds not boiling them but they have a wax coating on them and will hinder the germinating and works better when it is removed.

in the Middle East cuisines sumac is use as a condiment simply , wait until the sumac berry dries up and grind the skin of the berry then sprinkle on onions , in the Middle East they used to use Stone grinding Mills Google the following you see it Two women of Palestine Grinding at the mill Palestine . they're used in the Shawarma sandwich , you could easily make a business out of it selling some mac two Middle Eastern grocery shop

I like it when its pink or red i like the sour without the pucker taste

yes finally ,so much stuff going on here..this weekend is for fishing. thanks chris

I have to make it again the sumac is getting right for picking. Thanks for your videos -p.s love the ducks -:)

i probably should have said the first batch i made was not correct, and it was tart. thats wye i wanted to share the right way. good eye dorothy . give it a try. ..bill

lol, Love the goose in the background. You get on the water? Howd you do?

thanks for watching bro,,,,, enjoy some sumac tea

hey russell , thanks for watching .it dont take very long to get what you want, just minutes really. give it shot , be gentle only bruise the small hairs . i would be interest in you results . ..bill

you can make flower out of the seeds . a lot of work grinding them but it don't taste bad

Thanks for this excellent video showing the right way to do it! There's some crazy ones out that produce a really vile, disgusting beverage! The first one I ever read said to put the whole cones into a pot of water and bring it to a boil, mashing with a potato masher, then strain it. To be kind I'll just say that the result was not something most people would drink more than once.

thanks for watching

Thank you! Now I know why I got the bad taste.

How long do you keep it in the water?i guess by taste.

Why is the tea in the jar pink and the one you made yellowish?

yes hmmmmm, the spores on the hairs would probably stop developing toward the end of there cycle ,and possibly wash away with the rain. thanks bro for watching

New video from you. -Chris

duck yeah man

Good video, I think the only sumac in British Columbia is poisonous. I'll have to do some research. Looks tasty

there is a poison sumac, way different then the tree,,sorry did not show the tree. thanks for watching bro. ...............billy joe.......

thanks brother,they give me some big eggs

Is it smooth or staghorn

If the berries have hairs on them then it is likely from staghorn sumac.

guarts? LOL!

It won't let me subscribe. It keeps going to Google Reports

Is this poison sumac or is there a difference
