Mezcal Tamarind Sour
The trick here is making delicious tamarind Water or agua de tamarindo. Delicious on its own or as a cocktail.
Ingredients:
- - 6 oz Tamarind Water
- - 4 oz Lime Juice
- - 2oz Coconut Water (optional)
- - 1 tsp vanilla extract
- - 1 dose of Juna Balance CBD
Benefits:
The polyphenols in tamarind have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and work to lower blood sugar.
How to:
Make by steeping approximately 15 freshly peeled tamarind pods, or 1 tablespoon tamarind paste with 8 cups water. Simmer on stove until tamarind flesh starts to fall off. The mix should taste sweet and sour, and have a highly concentrated tamarind flavor. (Nature's sour patch kids!) Stir frequently to remove flesh from the pods, strain.
Add 1 cup coconut sugar to warm mixture. Stir to dissolve sugar. Let mixture cool.
Shake all ingredients with ice.
Garnish with orange wedge!
Optional: add Mezcal or Bourbon to taste
