The tamarind is a fruit (actually a bean pod) that is intimately associated with Senegal. Indeed, tamarinds are natives of Africa and the name of Senegal's capital, Dakar is derived from the native Wolof language word for tamarind,
Dakkar.
Ingredients:
generous bunch of fresh tamarind pods
2l water
200g sugar
Method:
Split the tamarind pods, sit in a large bowl then cover with plenty of water (at least 2l). Allow to soak for 15 minutes then knead with your hands to extract the pulp and the flavour. Continue soaking and kneading frequently for about 40 minutes then filter to remove any undissolved pulp, fibres and seeds.
Sweeten to taste, chill in the refrigerators for at least 40 minutes and serve well chilled over ice.
