- Add 2 teaspoons of dry blend to 1 cup / 8 fl oz of cold drinking water in a clean container and cover. Do not use hot water or boil this blend.
- Steep only in the refrigerator at 40°F / 4°C or below for 8–12 hours. No sunlight or countertop steeping, even for Sun Tea.
- Strain through a paper coffee filter or tightly woven cloth to remove fine sumac hairs. Sweeten after straining if desired; keep refrigerated.
Use a clean, covered container. Steep in the refrigerator at 40°F / 4°C or below, then strain and keep refrigerated.
This ratio is a taste starting point, not a therapeutic dose. The University of Kansas describes an overnight cold infusion with fine cloth filtration; boiling releases bitter tannins. This is the reason for our cold-brew method, not a claim that heated sumac becomes poisonous.

Understanding traditional medicinal uses
Herbal traditions describe particular plants, parts, and preparations. A tea’s name or flavor alone cannot establish a medicinal use; refer to its ingredient list when exploring its history.

Ask a qualified clinician about herbs if you take medicines, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are choosing a tea for a child. Follow the product’s preparation directions.
