Cuban Tamarindo drink recipe
(Tamarind Nectar)
2/3 cup tamarind pulp (you can buy it at a Latin or Asian grocer)
6 cups boiling water
1/2 cup sugar or even more to taste
Ice
In a large bowl, combine tamarindo, water and sugar. Mash the
tamarind with a fork or spoon and continue stirring the tamarindo to
make it start to dissolve.
Let the mixture stand until it cools. Take a fine
sieve and pour the mixture into it while holding it over a pitcher.
Press down hard on the tamarindo clumps and mixture to squeeze as
much of the juice as possible into the pitcher.
Serve the juice from the pitcher into tall glasses with ice. If you
are going to serve the mixture later, be sure that you stir it well
before serving.
Serves 5.
