Notes
- If you are in a hurry you can use warm water and this will cut the soaking time to 4 hours.
- Some people like to boil the tamarind with the water, I’ve never used this method and I’ve heard that it decreases the tamarind health benefits.
- If your juice comes out more sour than you like, add more water to dilute it and maybe try adding more sugar.
