  • 1
    Break the lump of tamarind into small pieces and boil them in the water for 10 minutes. Pour the tamarind mixture through a sieve. With a wooden spoon, push as much of the pulp as possible through the sieve into the water, scraping the bottom of the sieve every few seconds. Continue until all the pulp has been extracted from the seeds and fiber.
