I love this channel holy shit. I'm amazed at how many things you walk by and never take the time to think about. I've seen this thing EVERYWHERE and always thought it was annoying until now. I have great respect for it.

Although I do recommend a filter, I didn't have any trouble with little hairs getting into my drink. The hairs pretty much stay fastened onto the fruits.

In my experience it only has a bitter taste when you boil the stems. But since I soaked everything in cold water, it didn't taste bitter at all.

I been freezing the buds using them when family gets colds have them drink it warm with some honey really helps out with chest congestion

I remember fighting sumac plants that got out of control in my yard... took me 4 years to get them out, yet sometimes they still grow some stems that need to be removed. Sumac is a very quick growing plant.

I got hooked on your videos. I have been binge watching.Great stuff

We also have sumac in Laos. Oh how I miss picking and eating sumac. Thanks for sharing

I found some while camping and and thought "Hey I wonder what that tastes like?" So I looked it up thanks

Thank you great Information!

Awesome! Though they are different plants they are in the same family Anacardiaceae (cashews). They are in the same family but are different genera Rhus vs Toxicodendron. Great video! 👌

Great video

We have chinese sumac here but it tastes salty. Good as a substitute for salt when cooking.

Thanks

Sumacade also great for people with sumac allergies

I have A lot of these in my yard I tried making The sumacade but there was a bug I found in the cluster and it had lived there for a while and had pooped a lot so I didn't drink it or try again

Are all types or red berry sumac ok to eat.I planted a row of them in my yard as a wind break.

I like lemon water in the morning. Its not the worst thing but I do add berries sometimes for sweetness

nice

I tasted it while hiking, yep tasted salty, maybe a good way to add some salt flavour to something when out in the bush

I didn't know sumac was common in North America, which is really strange to me because as a Persian we grind it up and use it as a spice.

I always thought the red sumac was the poisinous one, ive never seen the white sumac, im going to try this, you dont have to crush the berries? Just soak them? I’ll do 8 hours like you did

Did you wash it prior

are they edible raw?

Does the stem leak white sap?

Could you use clovers as well to make a type of lemonade? Thanks for the video; I really enjoyed watching it.

That sweet tooth! Good job you Americans look after your teeth! (from a British person haha)

I suggest using wild, raw honey instead of sugar to sweeten it.

This stuff is also called Indian tea

I live in the us what regions would they grow here

I thought winged sumac only grow in the south

He's gotta live in upstate NY.

I found something that looks like sumac in my neighborhood. The berries are not white like poison sumac, but its drooping down, but other than that sounds like sumac, should I eat it? Yea, i know i shouldnt ask on the comments, but im curious on your opinions

You should clarify that these are staghorn sumac and not other varieties of sumac

I thought those were poisonous lol.

Youre not correct to say poison sumac and staghorn sumac are not related. They are a different genus, but are of the same family. The family they both belong to is that of the cashew, scientific name anacardiaceae. While not toxic like poison sumac some people are still alergic to regular sumac because they share the same compoud that people allergic to cashews react to. So if you are allergic to cashews, pistachios, peruvian pepper or anything in that family you should excersise caution when trying sumacaid for the first time.

but not stomach ulcer, unfortunately :(

hahahahaha eventually you kill that stump.

RAW HONEY!!! NOT SUGAR!
