Sumac drink is wonderful. I also use the berries to season my food. I use them freshly picked and I also dry them for later use. I also use the wood to make native American flutes.Thank You For All Of Your Great Videos.You have taught me many things.Thanks
I first read about the Sumac when I was in fifth grade in the encyclopedias my family had. I was probably the only little kid in Brooklyn saying "Oh, I want to try some Sumac." I finally got a nice harvest of it about four or five years ago on an outing. I love the stuff. Got me a stash of the berries in my cupboard right now. That stuff is awesome.
Six years later, but want to say thanks for this series. A lot of the plants you show are in my new backyard, and I was wondering what to do with the sumac. Great lessons!
9:16:a.m Sun 28, June, Watching you sip that & genuinely enjoy it makes me want to finally try brewing a batch myself... I've been contemplating it for 10 years! Which seems entirely too long. Keep up the great work Dave! Eastern woodlands rock!!!
I prepared the beverage according to the directions and it came out great.I sweetened it with saccharine type sugar as I'm a diabetic,but otherwise a tart refreshing drink in the field or at home.Thanks Dave.
Damn, they should get this guy to do beverage commercials! XD i kept wanting to pester him through the screen to not Bogart that and let me have a hit. Love your videos, Dave. You continue to serve your Nation (and the World) by sharing your love and knowledge of nature, how to appreciate, live with and live off the land. All but forgotten sacred arts in our overly technological, artificial, prefabricated "civilization".
Ever tried a dried piece as a spindle in a bow drill? I've been meaning to try but being as light and soft as it is I imagine it should work well. Also, works well dried for anything you'd need a hollow tube for because the middle fairly easily works out of it. Old timers used them for taps for making syrup.
great video! ive done sumac tea before but I couldn't drink it due to bug eggs I'm between the berries. I had never thought of straining it! thanks for the tip.
great job Dave thank you for your knowledge and expertise I often wondered how much calorie content is left in the seed pods after they have been strained off is it worth it to eat the remains or would it be better to disperse the seeds to replant
Sumac is great. Why buy Red Zinger tea when there's sumac all over? lol. But, I'm confused -- what are those puffy, white, hollow seedpods at 0:40-0:55? Sumac seeds are in the red seedhead that you used to make your drink. It's the little red hairs all over the seeds that are so sour and tasty.
Seven Pines Survival That's a pretty interesting aphid-sumac relationship! Thanks! Galls are so interesting. I always like to find oak apple galls -- they taste sour like the sumac when they are green.
I use the smaller diameter stalks of staghorn/smooth sumac for the stems of smoking pipes. Hollow out that pith with a coathanger and it's ready to go.
Is it really good? lol good job... Now I am thinking about harvesting some, but I do not like skeeterz. What wild plant repels them? Thank you in advance for your help with this. ..
We used to strip off the dry berries into our hands and pop them into our mouth and just suck off the tanginess. Much like eating a Warhead. Good stuff.
Hi Dave, i really like your videos and check your channel regularly. Regarding that Staghorn Sumach, you forgot to mention the use of the roots. The Indians used them for Hemostasis.
wow i never knew you could use the bark learn something new every day. dave next time you have fish lightly crush the berries and sprinkle it on fish so good
I told my kids that God made Koolaid that grows on trees back when I first showed them this. Now, they have to have it whenever they see it. :) Love it !
Yes and Malic acid, you can tell they are ready if you touch the berries and taste the tart on your fingers. Collect befor it rains the water will slowly wash away the tart taste.

Good eye those are galls like oak galls. Look up Melaphis rhois.

THESE Are great videos!
ALSO - does white sumac grow next to red sumac often? Is there any chance of confusing them - because they look so different
is it really good ? lol love in this series you should put this on DVD Dave all the best brother enjoy see ya Rufus ....tom
Is it really good? lol

Now I am thinking about harvesting some, but I do not like skeeterz. What wild plant repels them?

I love making this sumac-ade :) its great stuff
Thanks Dave appreciate your vids! Always educational
Maybe you could use a ph tool to analyze you finding!
I've got lots of that next to the house, when do you use the berries for the drink, when they are bright red or dull red?
Dave, I think you really like the taste.
Where does it like likes to grow? Im from denmark and I think I have seen one but not sure
I have this stuff literally all over my neighborhood and right in front of my house across the street
I have been trying to grow it in my yard so I did not have to go out and find it, but no look so far.
In Iran and Turkey and perhaps other countries in that region, sumak is sprinkeled liberally on some dishes.
Went to make some of this but there were worms in the berries... Any tips?
Can you use smooth sumac the same way?
Would you usually have added sugar?
High vitamin content .
wow i never knew you could use the bark learn something new every day. dave next time you have fish lightly crush the berries and sprinkle it on fish so good
I told my kids that God made Koolaid that grows on trees back when I first showed them this. Now, they have to have it whenever they see it. :) Love it !
So mix this with Boneset to improve the flavor next time?
perfect
Rhus typhina, its scientific name for those who really look into the plant!
thanks...im surrounded by these...5 acres worth!
Staghorn sumac has hairs there's another sumac that does not have hair does it have the same properties
what I found funny was its really good. eyes closed a little bit. it's really good eyes closed little bit more
what WAS them cows doing? lol
you can dry the leaves and smoke them
So I take it that you like it!
I guess I'm the Fourth First! I love staghorn Sumac!
Can Staghorn Sumac tea be made into a "Hard" drink?
I'm going to guess yes. Mash it up and add yeast. In theory if it contains sugar ( starch, carbs, glucose ) then you can make alcohol out of it.
I've heard its high in vitamin C. True?
Yes and Malic acid, you can tell they are ready if you touch the berries and taste the tart on your fingers. Collect befor it rains the water will slowly wash away the tart taste.
Ah. Thanks.
So can you just pick and eat the berries?
The berries are hard and dry and hard to eat. It's better to make them into a drink.
Was that sumac tea good? ha ha
Alkaline
First
first
cant you smoke the red leaves?
nice never knew about the sap, good stuff keep it up
