    I love a good trip down memory lane! Last month A New Life Herbs Coffee & Tea Cafe celebrated its 5 year anniversary! I'll never forget opening...
  • Sumac for Summer (Rhus glabra)

    We can make a delicious, cooling, and refreshing beverage with them. I simply put a few clusters of berries in a gallon container and top it off with hot tap water (not boiled water as that changes the flavor). After about 30 min to several hours, strain through a coffee filter and sweeten with sugar or honey per your preference (or drink it unsweet). The final product will taste very similar to lemonade!
    Not only is Sumac delicious and cooling during the hot summer months but it is extremely medicinal. It contains antiviral properties that help to stop viral replication therefore decreasing the life of the virus and its intensity. It also is great kidney support and is one of my favorites for low kidney function. It’s high in vit C, contains anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antimicrobial, and antifungal properties as well as being full of nutrients and antioxidants.
