Aaliyah - Tamarind Juice

I was first introduced to Tamarind when I heard it contains medicinal properties. That fact caught my attention almost immediately, given my deep interest in holistic healing. Tamarind originated in tropical Africa. It was primarily associated with its widespread use in Indian cuisine and traditional medicine. 

Once I found out how versatile the fruit is, I turned it into a drink. I started experimenting with the flavors and created a sweet and sour palette. I found that it’s best served cold and that I enjoy the tropical essence of the drink. When combined with sugar and vanilla bean paste, it adds a distinctive flavor.
