Adding Sumac and Cilantro to make Italian Ice. A great, healthy and tasty summer recipe

You may never have eaten sumac, but it’s sneaking up on you. Somewhat uncommon in American cuisine, the citrusy, berry-like, bracingly tart flower is an old hand with Middle Eastern flavors, and more and more cooks and restaurants are embracing it with gusto. (I bought mine at the DeKalb International Farmer’s Market in Georgia.)

So today I decided to make Lemon, Cilantro Sumac Italian ice. My back has been bothering me and I was looking for a health choice to offset the pain pills my doctor has prescribed. Sumac is good for inflammation.
