Agua de Tamarindo

Start by removing the shells from the tamarind pods, then place them in a pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil. Then let cool.

Strain the Tamarindo, separate the membranes and the seeds from the mushy flesh and push out the juice. Add the juice to a blender.

Blend until smooth, and add water with the tamarind juice to a large pitcher. Add sugar to taste and mix to combine.
