Ingredients

🌿 15-20 Tamarinds
🍋 Zest of 1 lime
🍬 1/2 cup sugar
💧 4 cups water
🍋 1 cup lime juice
🌶️ 1 cup chamoy
💧 3 cups additional water
🌶️ 1 cup tajin

Instructions

1- Prepare the Tamarinds:

• Start by peeling all the tamarinds, removing any strips attached to the pulp. If there is any dust or powder on the tamarinds, rinse them before peeling.

2- Cook the Tamarind Mixture:

• In a pot, combine the peeled tamarinds, lime zest, sugar, and 4 cups of water.
• Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, allow it to continue for about a minute before removing it from the heat to cool.

3- Strain the Tamarind Pulp:

• Strain the contents of the pot into a bowl. Use a spoon or your hand to press down the pulp through the strainer, separating the seeds and collecting as much pulp as possible.

4- Mix the Ingredients:

• In a pitcher, mix the obtained tamarind pulp with lime juice, chamoy, an additional 3 cups of water, and tajin. Stir well.

5- Prepare the Popsicle Molds:

• Optional: If desired, add some chamoy and tajin to the bottom of each popsicle mold for extra flavor. Freeze for about an hour before adding the tamarind mixture.

6- Freeze the Popsicles:

• Pour the tamarind mixture into popsicle molds, insert sticks, and freeze for at least 5 hours or until fully set.
