📝 Preparation Steps
1
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.
2
Rub the tamarind pulp and seeds with your fingers, and add 3 cups (700 ml) cold water.
3
Place the mixture in a fine mesh strainer set over a large bowl and press on the tamarind to extract all the juice.
4
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.
5
Repeat the procedure a third time with 1 cup (240 ml) water.
6
Add the sugar to the tamarind juice in the large bowl and stir to dissolve.
7
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).
