Instructions
-
Start boiling half of the water in a large pot.
-
While water heats, prepare tamarind pods by removing their outer shell and strings.
-
Once water boils, remove from heat, then add the peeled tamarind and sugar to the hot water and let soak for 90 minutes.
-
After soaking, squeeze out and discard the hard tamarind seeds and any remaining strings from the cooled liquid.
-
Blend the liquid and pulp until the pulp is fully integrated into the water.
-
Strain the mixture if a pulp-free consistency is preferred.
-
Pour the drink into a pitcher, mix in the remaining water, and refrigerate until cold.
-
Serve chilled, over ice if desired.
