Ingredients

  1. Deselect All
  2. 1 1/2 pounds dried tamarind pods or 1 pound pulp with seeds

Instructions

  1. Remove and discard the hard outer pods of the dried tamarind. Combine the remaining dried tamarind or the prepared pulp with the water and bring to a boil. Cook over medium heat about 30 minutes, or until the flesh is very soft, occasionally stirring and mashing with a whisk to break up the flesh and separate the seeds.

I’m hoping this turns out tasting like the first time I had Tamarind water as a beverage; it was amazing. However, since this recipe is incomplete I have my doubts. When is the sugar added? Before boiling? After boiling? After straining? On the side? Very poorly done Food Network.
