Tamarind Drink

Tamarind Drink Food Recipe

Ingredients

2-3 tablespoons concentrated ripe tamarind paste,
1 litre ice cold water,
125 grams caster sugar,
Crushed ice

Method

Blend the sugar, tamarind paste and half (1/2 litre) of the chilled water together until everything is thoroughly blended, using a beater or blender.

Pour into a pre-cooled water jug. Add the remaining chilled water and mix in the caster sugar. Stir well to dissolve the sugar completely. Store in the fridge to keep cold.

Serve ice cold in pre-cooled glasses.

Optional: Some people like to add some salt and/or crushed green chillies too. If you like chillies, try and experiment the taste.

Enjoy. Perfect on hot days to cool the body down and quench thirst.
