Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare Tamarind Mixture
In a bowl, soak the tamarind pulp in 1 cup of warm water for about 15 minutes. This will soften the pulp and make it easier to extract the flavor.
- 2
Extract Tamarind Juice
Once the tamarind pulp is softened, use your hands to mash and squeeze the pulp in the water, releasing the juice. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a jug, discarding the solid pulp.
- 3
Sweeten the Juice
Add the granulated sugar to the tamarind juice and stir until completely dissolved. This usually takes a few minutes.
- 4
Add Lime Juice and Salt
Stir in the fresh lime juice and salt into the tamarind mixture. Adjust the sweetness and tartness to your taste.
Final Assembly
- 5
Combine with Carbonated Water
In a large pitcher, combine the tamarind mixture with 500 ml of carbonated water. Stir gently to mix without losing too much carbonation.
- 6
Serve
Pour the drink into glasses filled with ice. Garnish with lime wedges and fresh mint leaves if desired.
