sumacade (uncountable)
- A sweetened drink made with the drupes of the sumac.
- 1986, Kathryn G. March, The wild plant companion: a fresh understanding of herbal food and medicine:
- The fruits are rinsed and pressed in cold water, which is strained for a pleasant sour drink, sumacade; the leaves are dried and smoked in pipes alone or with tobacco or other herbs and are a bland and pleasant enough smoke, possibly less injurious than regular tobacco.
