Tamarind Water
- Level: Easy
- Yield: 2 1/2 quarts
Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds dried tamarind pods or 1 pound pulp with seeds
1 gallon water
1 cup sugar
Directions
- Remove and discard the hard outer pods of the dried tamarind. Combine the remaining dried tamarind or the prepared pulp with the water and bring to a boil. Cook over medium heat about 30 minutes, or until the flesh is very soft, occasionally stirring and mashing with a whisk to break up the flesh and separate the seeds.
- Strain and discard the solids. Cool to room temperature and chill. Serve in tall glasses with plenty of ice.
