Tamarind Juice

To cool yourself down

This refreshing beverage, tamarind juice, is still a classic of tropical countries. Preparing it can be quite tedious, but it will inevitably bring back childhood memories, or make you crave trips to sunny destinations

In this recipe, we use sweet tamarinds from Thailand that you can easily find in exotic groceries, and which are the best way to get a delicious juice without additional sugar. On the other hand, this variety of tamarind isn’t sour, and if you appreciate sour taste all you’ve got to do is add a dash of lime juice in your drink, and this is it !
