About Recipe

Tamarind Agua Fresca. Sounds exotic, eh? But believe me the exotica stops with the name. Tamarind agua fresca is nothing but a mexican drink made with tamarind pulp, cold water and some lemon wedges. I was ambling over at Pinterest the other day for some interesting Cinco De Mayo recipes and i happened to read this Tamarind Agua Fresca recipe. I was surprised that there were cuisines other than Indian that used tamarind. And i was even more taken aback when i discovered that it was the Mexicans. I would not have been so surprised if it had been some Asian cuisine, but Mexican, seriously? Cool, huh! Like i said, this is a very simple recipe that you can whip up in no time. You can make this ahead and leave it to chill in the fridge. This Tamarind Agua Fresca is truly a Cinco De Mayo delight because it pretty much has everything- tang, sweetness, salt and what not? I came up with my own version of Tamarind Agua Fresca and i thought, why not share it here? Cinco De Mayo or not, it s scorching here in India and we all can do with a tall glass of chilled agua fresca.
