An oil can be extracted from Lemonade Berry seeds; and has a tallow-like consistency when left to stand. Thereafter the oil can be used to make candles, which burn brightly but emits a pungent scent. Fruits of the Lemonade Berry were used by Indians to make a refreshing drink that resembles pink lemonade. “Rhus juice,” an approximation of the Indian beverage, can be made by adding found, dried berries to water and sweetening it with honey.
