Description

Tamarind
Tamarind is a pod-like tree fruit that comes from a tree. The pod is technically a legume, but it’s consumed more like a fruit. Inside each pod are seeds and a sticky, tart pulp. The pulp is the part used in recipes, and it boasts a potent flavor that’s both tangy and sweet.
You can actually eat fresh tamarind. Once you crack and peel the hard outer shell of the pod, you’ll find a reddish-brown pulp and twig-like veins inside. Remove the veins, and then it’s ready to eat. (Just be careful of the hard seeds in the center.)

Ingredients
1½ pounds dried tart tamarind
1 gallon water
1 cup sugar
Instructions
Remove and discard the hard outer pods of the dried tamarind. In a large saucepan, combine the water with the dried tamarind and bring it to a boil.
Cook over medium heat for about 30 minutes or until the tamarind flesh is very soft. You can help the process by mashing the tamarind with a whisk to break up the flesh and separate the seeds.
Strain the liquid and discard the solids. Add the sugar to the liquid and stir until dissolved. Let it cool to room temperature
Fill each glass with lots of ice and then add the tamarind water.
Enjoy!
