1
Make Tamarind Syrup
In a saucepan, combine tamarind pulp, water, and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool.
2
Blend Ingredients
In a blender, combine coconut water, yogurt, cooled tamarind syrup, cardamom powder, and a pinch of salt. Add ice cubes and blend until smooth and creamy.
3
Serve
Pour the Bouake into glasses and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of cardamom or a slice of lime.
