How to Make Mexican Tamarind Cooler Agua De Tamarindo
- Rinse 1 pound of fresh tamarind pods under cold water.
- Remove the outer shells from the tamarind pods. Scrape away any remaining bits of shell under running water.
- Place the shelled tamarind pulp into a saucepan with 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, manually remove all the pits from the tamarind pulp.
- Place the pitted tamarind pulp in a blender. Add 2 cups of water and blend until smooth.
- In a separate pitcher, combine 2 cups of water and 1 cup of sugar (or to taste). Stir until sugar dissolves completely.
- Combine the blended tamarind mixture and the sweetened water in a large pitcher. Stir well to combine.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any remaining pulp fibers or shell fragments.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill thoroughly before serving. Garnish with lime wedges and enjoy!
