Ingredients & Substitutions
Tamarind paste can be found in most grocery stores or online. If you can't find it, you can use tamarind concentrate—just adjust the amount since it's usually stronger. I love using fresh lemon juice for that bright flavor, but bottled juice works in a pinch. The ginger adds a lovely warmth, and you can always add more chili flakes if you like it spicier!
Tips & Notes
- •I like to keep some tamarind paste on hand for quick drinks or adding to sauces.
- •If you want a smoother lemonade, you can strain it through a fine mesh sieve to remove any ginger bits.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I'll add a splash of sparkling water just before serving for a fizzy twist.
- •You can also infuse this lemonade with other fresh herbs, like basil or rosemary, for a unique flavor profile.
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftover lemonade in an airtight container in the fridge. It should stay fresh for about 3 days, but trust me, it’s so refreshing, it’ll be gone before you know it!
