Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pound tamarind pulp (with seeds)
18 pitted Medjool dates
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons superfine sugar
Ingredient info: Tamarind pulp is sold frozen at Latin and Asian markets and in block form at Indian markets.

Steps:

  • Combine tamarind, dates, and 2 1/2 quarts water in a medium pot and bring to a boil; simmer briskly, stirring often and mashing pulp and dates with the back of a spoon until they break down, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let steep for 2 hours.
  • Strain mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible (you should have about 4 cups).
  • Transfer tamarind mixture to a pitcher. Stir in sugar and 3 cups water. Chill until cold.
  • Fill glasses with ice. Divide agua fresca among glasses.

This is another favorite agua fresca drink of mine. The tamarind has a sweet and sour kind of taste to it. You can find tamarind concentrate in most Mexican or Asian markets. Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.
