Fresh Sumac Iced Tea

Directions

1. 1
   Remove the berries from the drupes.
2. 2
   Pour nearly boiling water over the berries and steep for an hour. Smoosh the berries in with the water. Strain the berries.
3. 3
   Chill the drink.
4. 4
   Take the warm berries and add to an ice cube tray. Fill with halfway spring water or with the drink itself and freeze.

   A few hours later fill up the ice cube tray. This way the berries will be prevented from floating to the top. Freeze again.

   Add the ice cubes to your glass and fill with the chilled drink. Add sweetener if you must.
