Take the tamarind out of the shell and remove the veins.

Submerge the tamarind in spring water and let it soak overnight for about 12 hours.

After soaking, mush the tamarind with clean hands or blend it on the lowest setting to extract the juice.

Squeeze the tamarind until the black seeds come out and the pulp is separated from the seeds.

Strain the mixture to extract the juice, using a spoon to press down on the pulp for extra flavor.

Depending on whether you have sweet or sour tamarind, add agave or key lime juice to taste.

Mix the juice in the blender on a low setting.

Refrigerate the juice until chilled.
