Ingredients

2 ½ cups tamarind pulp
0.4 oz sliced ginger
½ tsp vanilla extract
3 drops angostura bitters
½ tbsp lime juice
honey Sweeten to taste
6 cups litre Water

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Remove the outer shell of the tamarind and place the pulp in a kitchen bowl.
Boil half the water and pour it over the tamarind pulp in the bowl.
Add the remaining water and leave to soften for about 5-10 minutes.
Pour the water, tamarind pulp, and ginger into a blender.
With the blender on the lowest settings, pulse to separate the seeds from the pulp, which may take a few goes before all the seeds are separated.
Strain
Add the vanilla extract, angostura bitters, and lime juice, and sweeten to taste.
Put to chill and serve over plenty of ice.

Notes

I remove the seeds before blending. More of the pulp is left in the drink after straining, which I like. But sitting and removing all the seeds from each pulp is a long and tedious task.
You can also use whatever sweetener you like. Honey adds to the tropical taste.
If you are using very sour tamarinds, use let the lime juice!
