Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups boiling water
  • 1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste
  • Thin lemon slices for garnish

Method

  • In a bowl whisk together the boiling water, the brown sugar, the ginger, and the tamarind paste until the mixture is combined well, let the mixture cool, and strain it through a fine sieve set over a pitcher.
  • Stir in the lemon juice and chill the mixture for at least 1 hour, or until it is very cold.
  • Divide the cooler among tall glasses filled with ice cubes and garnish each drink with a lemon slice.
