Tamarind (Tamarindus
indica), a leguminous tree native to India. The brown, bean-like pods
contain a tart, sticky pulp used to flavor drinks, candies, sauces
(including Worcestershire sauce), curries, preserves and chutney. Tamarind
trees are grown throughout temperate and tropical regions of the world,
especially in Africa, southeastern Asia and Mexico.
Method:
Blend the sugar,
tamarind paste and half (1/2 litre) of the chilled water together
until everything is thoroughly blended, using a beater or blender.
Pour into a pre-cooled
water jug. Add the remaining chilled water and mix in the caster
sugar. Stir well to dissolve the sugar completely. Store in the fridge
to keep cold.
Serve ice cold in
pre-cooled glasses.
Optional: Some people
like to add some salt and/or crushed green chillies too. If you like
chillies, try and experiment the taste.
Enjoy. Perfect on hot
days to cool the body down and quench thirst.
