3. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
4. Strain mixture (unless you were too lazy like me).

6. When you are ready to make the cocktail, muddle limes and mint in a pitcher.
7. Stir in sumac syrup.
8. Add ice and top with seltzer.
9. If you want to make an adult version of this drink, add 1-2 oz of white rum or vodka to your ice filled glass and top with sumac syrup/seltzer mixture.
