Ingredients
- 4 cup water
- 1 cup tamarind paste. Also called tamarind concentrate. Make your own tamarind paste or store-bought
- 1 cup sugar.
- 4 Black tea bags
- Ice cubes. As needed.
Instructions
- 1
On medium heat, combine water and sugar in a medium-stock pot. Whisk often. There is no need to bring it to a boil until the sugar dissolves. Hot water will take longer for your tea to cool. 4-5 minutes.

Turn the heat off, then add the tamarind paste to the pot. Whisk well and allow it to cool. Taste and adjust with more sugar or tamarind as needed.

Add the tea bags to the pot and let it steep in the warm water. 8-10 minutes. More or less preferred for how long strong you like your tea.
