AGUA DE TAMARINDO (TAMARIND WATER)
The tamarind tree from India produces a fuzzy, pod-shaped fruit with a sticky, earth-colored pulp that has a tart flavor. When mixed with sugar or chile, the pulp is eaten as a snack, but when combined with sweetened water it becomes one of Mexico's favorite beverages to serve with antojitos or grilled meats. The three- to four-inch pods are available in specialty Mexican markets.

TAMARIND DRINK
The tamarind is native to tropical Africa and grows wild throughout the Sudan. It was introduced into India so long ago; it has often been reported as indigenous there also. It is extensively cultivated in tropical areas of the world. Sometime during the sixteenth century, it was introduced into America and today is widely grown in Mexico. I have a friend from Mexico who always has a pitcher of "fresca" in the fridge. Not the soft drink in a can, but a lovely, light fruit drink of some sort. Very refreshing. The cook time is the soaking time.

TAMARIND AGUA FRESCA
This is another favorite agua fresca drink of mine. The tamarind has a sweet and sour kind of taste to it. You can find tamarind concentrate in most Mexican or Asian markets. Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.
