What is Tamarind (and How to Make Tamarind Juice)
Use tamarind juice to make Pad Thai, Tom Yum soup, and curries, or use it in cocktails, drinks, and more!
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp tamarind pulp
- 1/3 cup water
Instructions
- Add the tamarind pulp to a bowl. You can use tamarind pulp or remove the pulp from the whole fruit by yourself, although the latter option is quite time-consuming.
- Bring the water to a boil and pour it over the tamarind pulp. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes. At this point, you can use a spoon to slightly mash the tamarind pulp.
- Strain through a fine sieve mesh and discard the pulp. Note: you can also keep the pulp to use it to make other dishes like chutney, for example.
- The tamarind juice is now ready to use! Tamarind juice will keep for up to 7 days in the refrigerator.
