To make the aqua de tamarindo, take 8 tamarind pods, shell removed (or about 8 tablespoons of block tamarind paste) and add it and half a cup of piloncillo (Mexican brown sugar) to 1 quart of simmering water. Simmer for 1 minute, remove from the heat and pour into a bowl. Let the tamarind soak for two hours, then using your hands, rub the pods to remove the tamarind paste. Strain and bottle.

Curated this. H/T to Rafa above. Removed Jarritos as a brand of agua de tamarindo.. it's a tamarind flavored soda, not what the recipe calls for. Added garnish. Transcribed agua de tamarindo recipe from the link cited. Corrected spelling of the drink.

Thanks,

Zachary
