How to Make Tamarind Cooler

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of boiling water, ½ cup packed brown sugar, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, and ¼ cup tamarind paste until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  2. Let the mixture steep for 5-6 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Then, stir in ¼ cup fresh lemon juice.
  3. Allow the mixture to cool completely to room temperature. Once cooled, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove any solids.
  4. Refrigerate the cooler for at least 2-3 hours to allow the flavors to fully develop and chill thoroughly.
  5. To serve, fill tall glasses with ice. Pour the chilled Tamarind Cooler over the ice. Garnish each glass with a fresh mint sprig and enjoy!
