I like the tamarind agua fresca at the taquerias better.

I like the Jarritos one but my homemade one fucking blows.
I have to use the Kool Aid tamarind stuff instead. It makes me feel dirty. : (

I live in the middle of nowhere in the Midwest, we have no mexicans so we never get the cool Jarritos flavors.

I found picrel at walmart, so addictive.

I like just eating sweet tamarind straight from the pod. The seeds look nice, too.

I tried tamarind pods before, They are annoying with all the seeds and fibers.
For pure tamarind there might be picrel in the freezer section.

>fibers
You can pull them all out in one go like the spine from a cooked sardine.
As for the seeds, they're also not too big a deal to me, but if they are to you, there's no changing that.

Do Mexicans even have sweet tamarind, now that I think of it? I never see them just eat tamarind as-is so I just concluded that they simply don't have it available and guessed that the frozen pulp would all be the sour stuff.
Little makes me happier that cracking open a sweet tamarind and feasting on the goo inside.

I prefer the sour, adding sweetner to sour tamarind is good, its like lemonade but different. Sweet tamarind tastes like bland raisins to me.

I think they taste like less cloying dates.
In fact, tamarind is from the Arabic "Tamar Indi" meaning 'Indian date."
I like dates okay, but sweet tamarind is my shit.
And yeah, sour tamarind is great. I use it to make burmese tamarind curry, for making Thai smoked fish and tamarind soup and for making tamarind-ade. For dinner reason, though, tamarind reacts badly with seltzer when I make the ade into a sweetened concentrate for soda >>19823669. It tastes metallic and the weirdest thing of all is that the bubbles from the carbonated water take on a bizarrely blueish hue and inexplicably maintain their structure more readily than they do with my sparkling lemonade, limeade or other soda flavours I make.

For SOME reason, fucking autocorrect

Maybe its the same chemical reaction from when red cabbage turns blue. Something acid/alkaline related?

[Anonymous No.19823956]

>>19823932
Yeah, probably. Still fucking weird.

No bean people? So it still feels like 90's America? What state, I'd like to move.

It just tastes like a soda version of generic tea to me

Tamarind is godly but i don’t like tamarind soda. Barely tastes like tamarind. Its just a musty sprite.

I really like the Pineapple one with Mexican food, it's nice drinking out of a glass bottle for a change.
