- When the tamarind is ready, remove it from the heat and let it cool completely. If you want to speed up the process, remove the water and add a little cold water. Then, take the pods to the blender, add stevia or sweetener to taste and blend for 3 minutes or until a kind of very light paste is left.
- Since the tamarind with its seeds was blended, you must pass it through a strainer to remove the ground seeds, since they can be difficult to digest.
- Frost your glasses with a little of the same tamarind concentrate or with lemon juice and chili powder. Also add chamoy to taste inside each glass.
