Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Soak the tamarind pulp in 30 cl of lukewarm water for 15 minutes to soften it.
  2. Mash the pulp with your fingers or a fork, then pass the mixture through a sieve to remove the fibers and seeds.
  3. In a saucepan, combine the pulp purée with the remaining water, the sugar and the cinnamon stick.
  4. Simmer gently for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring, until the syrup is slightly thick.
  5. Remove the cinnamon, let it cool, then pour into a clean bottle.
  6. Store in the fridge and dilute 2 to 3 spoonfuls in a glass of cold water.
