Tamarind Mango Mocktail

 Ingredients

For tamarind pulp (Skip this step if using store-bought pulp)

25 gram seedless tamarind / imli (around ⅓ cup)

 ¾ cup water

Other ingredients

1 liter Mango Nectar or Mango juice

 1 ½ tbspTajin classico

 ½ tsp black salt

 ½ tsp roasted cumin powder

1 liter club soda or sparkling water

Instructions

Make Tamarind pulp (skip this step if using store-bought tamarind Paste)

Take seedless tamarind and water in a pot. Boil on a medium flame for 5 minutes or until the tamarinds are soft. Switch off the flame and let it cool down.

Once cooled, make a paste using a blender jar or immersion hand blender. Strain the pulp using a fine strainer. The tamarind paste/pulp is ready. Keep it aside.

Mango tamarind mixture

Combine mango nectar/juice, tajin, black salt, roasted cumin powder, and 4 tablespoon tamarind pulp in a big mixing bowl or beverage pitcher. Mix everything very well. Refrigerate this mixture for at least 2 hours.

Note – If your mango juice is super cold, use this mixture directly to make the drink.

Make drink Now, take an 8-oz glass, add some ice cubes, and a few mint leaves. Fill half a glass with the prepared mango-tamarind mixture. Add sparkling water or club soda. Stir and serve immediately.  Tip – You can make assemble this drink directly in beverage pitcher. Just make sure to add soda or sparkling water right before the serving.  Notes I recommend adding sparkling water or club soda just before serving the drink. Remember to stir the drink before serving. To make your drink look festive, you can also coat the rim of the glass with some tajin or black salt. This recipe will serve 8 if you serve it in 8-oz glasses. Serving this Mocktail in smaller glasses will yield more. You can easily double the recipe. This drink is better when cold, so add plenty of ice cubes and enjoy it immediately once served. You can use Chili lime seasoning or make your own spice mix by combining 4 tablespoon chili powder, 2 tablespoon sea salt (or any salt), and 2 tablespoon lime powder. If you don’t have lime powder, you can use 1 teaspoon citric acid. Mix all the spices in a spice blender jar. Remember to use only 1 tablespoon of the homemade tajin seasoning in the specified drink quantity.  ps- this recipe was sent by my daughter
