Ingredients
  

  • 1 pint fresh sumac berries (about 6 to 8 clusters)
  • 1/2 gallon cold water
  • sugar to taste

Instructions
 

  • Add the berries to the water and use a potato masher or a spoon to crush the berries so they release their flavor.
  • Let the berries steep for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Once the sumac lemonade is flavored to your liking, pour it through a strainer or cheesecloth to remove the berries.
  • Add enough sugar to sweeten the drink, but not so much that you lose the tangy flavor.
  • Pour your sumac lemonade over ice and enjoy!
