Sari Asam Jawa – Tamarind Juice

240650

So far, I have only used tamarind in creating dishes to lend the much welcome sour note. But tamarind can also be made into simple refreshing drink. Preparing a tamarind juice is pretty straightforward, just boil together tamarind, palm sugar, and sugar. When served chilled, tamarind juice is a perfect drink to have when eating Indonesian hot and spicy food, pretty much every kind of food there is right?

Another common way to serve this is by adding equal amount of soda water to the tamarind juice to create tamarind punch. If tamarind punch is what you aim for, you may want to add some simple syrup to sweeten your punch.
