Servings 6
Ingredients
- 100 gm tamarind seedless if possible
- 1 litre water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tbsp rose water
- Cold water as needed
- Sugar syrup as needed
- Ice for serving
Instructions
- In a saucepan, add the tamarind along with half a liter of water. Boil for 15 minutes till the tamarind softens.
- Strain through a seive pressing down as much as liquid as possible.
- Now add the tamarind again into the saucepan, with the remaining water and sugar and boil again for fifteen minutes. This is just to ensure to take maximum pulp off.
- Strain into the previously prepared mixture. Discard the remains.
- Mix in the rose water. Chill till use.
- To serve, add 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of the concoction to a tall glass. Top with ice and more cold water. Sweeten to taste, preferably with sugar syrup and enjoy immediately.
Notes
The final concoction will be thick and tangy. Adjust the final drink to your liking. This quantity can easily serve 8-10 people, depending on how tangy you want the drink.
You can also add a dash of rose syrup while serving, instead of the sugar syrup.
