A Middle Eastern-flavored iced beverage from a local source. Shhh!! You have my blessing to play with the ingredient amounts as you please. Ingredients:
4 cups tamarind juice (recipe below) |
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice |
filtered water |
tamarind syrup |
2 teaspoons rose water |
2 teaspoons orange blossom water |
1 teaspoon pomegranate syrup |
honey, to taste (superfine sugar or agave nectar) |
ice cube |
lemon slices (we like both) or orange slice (we like both) |
fresh mint leaves |
Directions:
1. To make tamarind juice: for every 1 cup of water add 2-3 tablespoons tamarind syrup. Tamarind syrup is available at Middle Eastern and Indian/Asian stores. The ratio on the bottle I have in the pantry is 3/4 cup water to 1/4 cup tamarind syrup. Adjust amount to your preference.
2. Mix beverage ingredients together in a pretty pitcher and chill.
3. Serve over ice with lemon/orange slices and fresh mint for garnish.
4. Add more sweetener if necessary.
