Tamarind Water
This is an excellent tangy, fruity, alcohol-free alternative to wine.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup boiling water
- 1 heaping tablespoon lump tamarind ((1 oz/28 g))
Instructions
- Pour boiling water over lump tamarind.
- Leave to soften for a minute, then stir and mash the tamarind.
- Let steep for 3 to 4 minutes longer, then stir again or mash with fingers to loosen pulp from seeds and fibers.
- Strain the liquid, pressing as much pulp as possible through the sieve. Discard seeds and fibers.
Notes
Refrigerate and use as a substitute for citrus juice or wine in recipes.
