RE: Wild Faux Pink Lemonade - No Lemons for the Steemint Culinary Challenge #14 - But still a winning drink!
Very cool idea. We do have sumac in NJ, but it's been so long since Boy Scouts that I'd have to brush up and then go on a hunt for the non-poisonous variety.
Glad you enjoyed this. I bet you have some sumac in those woods you wander! They were in better shape before the winter rain and snow, though. I harvest mine in September or October, and hang the big seedheads to dry. I use them pretty regularly -- way more than lemons, lol!
Will be on the lookout for them this year!
I bet you will see them in a lot of places, once you start noticing them. I'll probably repost my original sumac article. That might help you out. They are one of the easy foraging plants to recognize!
