Agua De Tamarindo (Tamarind Water)

1. Wash the tamarinds and soak in 4 cups (32 fl oz/1 l) hot water for 2 hours.

2. After the tamarinds have soaked, reach into the bowl and rub them against each other for at least 5 minutes to obtain as much pulp as possible, about 2 cups.

3. Strain the liquid into a pitcher, dilute with 6 cups (48 fl oz/1.5 l) cold water and sweeten to taste.
