- Chef Tips:
- You may add rose syrup i.e. 1/4th tbsp., if you want to have a deep red colour for this tongue tantalizing drink.
- You may make it instantly by just soaking the tamarind in water for 2 hours, but I suggest soaking it overnight, to extract maximum flavour from the tamarind.
- You may add a little green cardamom powder, if desired.
- You may skip adding the Ginger juice.
- You may garnish it with fresh mint leaves.
- 8 hours 15 mins (Includes the time of soaking time of Tamarind overnight)
