Agua De Tamarindo

1. 1

   Peel the tamarind pods, removing the veins that run along the sides. Don't worry if bits of the pod adhere to the pulp; they will come off easily after cooking. Do not attempt to remove the seeds at this point.

2. 2

   Bring half the water to a boil and add the peeled tamarind pods. Boil until the pulp is soft, about 15 minutes.

3. 3

   Let the tamarind water sit until the pulp is cool enough to handle.

4. 4

   Using your hands, remove the seeds from the pulp; they will slide out easily. Discard the seeds and any bits of outside peel that may have stuck before cooking.

5. 5

   Put the pulp, cooking water and sugar in the blender and liquify.

6. 6

   Strain this mixture into a pitcher and add the remaining water.

7. 7

   Mix well and chill before serving.
