Refresco De Tamarindo Tamarind Drink Recipes

Steps:

• Fill glasses with ice. Combine water, tamarind concentrate, and sugar in a pitcher; stir until sugar is dissolved. Pour over ice and garnish with orange and lime slices.

Steps:

• Put the tamarind and water in a large bowl.
• Let soak for an hour or so.
• Then remove seeds with your hands.
• Try to mash up the tamarind, for this will make it easier to remove the seeds and give the water a more pronounced flavor.
• Pour water through a strainer.
• Add sugar.
• Refrigerate until well chilled. Serve and enjoy!
• Serve chilled with lots of ice.

Steps:

• Rub the rim of a glass with lime and dip in Tajín. Combine 1 1/2 ounces reposado tequila (such as El Jimador), 1 1/2 ounces tamarind puree, 1/2 ounce agave nectar and 1/4 ounce fresh lime juice in a shaker with ice; shake until cold. Fill the prepared glass with ice, then strain the drink into the glass. Garnish with a lime slice.

Steps:

• Cover tamarind pods with hot water.
• Let stand 1 hour; drain.
• Rinse and drain.
• Remove pods, stems and strings from tamarinds.
• Place pods in 2 quarts of water.
• Let stand at least 8 hours or overnight; strain, reserving liquid.
• Press as much tamarind pulp as possible through a sieve.
• Mix pulp, reserved liquid and the sugar or honey.
• Heat just until the sugar or honey melts.
• Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
• Serve over ice.

Steps:

• Separate the tamarind mass into chunks and place in a bowl. Cover with the boiling water and set aside for a few hours until the pulp dissolves in the water.
• Rub the tamarind pulp and seeds with your fingers, and add 3 cups (700 ml) cold water.
• Place the mixture in a fine mesh strainer set over a large bowl and press on the tamarind to extract all the juice.
• Transfer the pulp residue to a small bowl and add 2 cups (480 ml) cold water, rubbing the mixture with your fingers. Strain into the large bowl used above.
• Repeat the procedure a third time with 1 cup (240 ml) water.
• Add the sugar to the tamarind juice in the large bowl and stir to dissolve.
• Refrigerate and serve very cold with ice and water to dilute as desired (about ¼ cup or 60 ml water per 240 ml cup of juice).
