Time 10m

Yield 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

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

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Mix beverage ingredients together in a pretty pitcher and chill.
  • Serve over ice with lemon/orange slices and fresh mint for garnish.
  • Add more sweetener if necessary.
