Tamarind Sharbat - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup tamarind paste
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water

Preparation

Combine the tamarind paste, sugar and water in a small pot and bring to a simmer on medium low heat.
Stir while sugar dissolves.
You should have a syrup the consistency of maple syrup.
If it's thicker add a bit of water and cook another minute.
This will thicken up a bit when cool but still pourable.
Pour into a sterile jar or bottle.
This will keep for 3 or 4 days on the counter.
To serve combine 1/4 cup syrup with 1/2 cup water or sparkling water, stir and add 3 or 4 ice cubes.
