Magical Iced Beverage (Non-Alcoholic) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Beverage
    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)
    Garnish
    ice cube
    lemon slices (we like both) or orange slice (we like both)
    fresh mint leaves
Preparation
    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.
