Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Tamarind pulp
- 4 cups Water
- 4 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Black salt
- 6 pieces Mint leaves
- 1 cup Chilled soda water (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine tamarind pulp with 1 cup of warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then stir and press the pulp to release its flavors. Strain the liquid through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher, discarding any solids.
Add the remaining 3 cups of water to the pitcher along with the sugar. Stir well until the sugar dissolves completely.
Add lime juice, black salt, and a handful of mint leaves to the pitcher for an added layer of flavor. Mix gently to combine.
Fill serving glasses halfway with ice cubes. Pour the tamarind cooler over the ice.
Optional: Top each glass with a splash of chilled soda water for a fizzy twist.
Garnish with extra mint leaves, if desired, and serve immediately.
