Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup tamarind pulp (seedless)
- 6 cups water
- 1 cup brown sugar (or sweetener of choice)
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger (optional)
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 cups ice cubes
Instructions
In a medium-sized pot, add the tamarind pulp and 4 cups of water.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally to break down the tamarind pulp.
Remove the pot from heat and let the tamarind mixture cool slightly.
Strain the tamarind mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a large bowl or pitcher, using the back of a spoon to press out as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
Stir in the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground ginger (if using), and lime juice until fully dissolved.
Add the remaining 2 cups of water and mix well. Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity if desired.
Refrigerate the tamarind drink for at least 1 hour to chill, or serve immediately over ice cubes in tall glasses.
