Whats your recipe? Ive only ever used them for tea and it was middling at best.

I just put ripe berry clusters in cold water for several hours to a day. I pour through a coffee filter to remove the hair.

I try each cluster by rubbing my finger across and licking it. I only use strong, sour clusters.

Are those also called elk horn trees, I think I have 2 on my homestead, what exactly are you making with them?

Ive never heard them called elk horn trees. They are staghorn sumac trees.

I am making a drink similar to lemonade.

Well seeing your post made me do some research, and staghorn sumac is what mine are, and I did see that you can make a drink similar to lemonade, it also said that there are many healing properties in the berries, so thank you for posting๐Ÿ˜Š

Here it is after filtering the berries and hairs out

I canโ€™t wait until I get honey from me bees๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ
