Ingredients




pound Dried tamarind pods
(or 1 pound tamarind pulp with seeds)
1 gal Water
1 cup Sugar

Preparation

1 Remove and discard the hard outer pods of the dried tamarind. Combine the 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. 2 Strain and discard the solids. Cool to room temperature and chill. Serve in tall glasses with plenty of ice. 3 This recipe yields about 2 1/2 quarts of beverage.
