My mom sold tamarindo candy in our family's neighborhood grocery store and all the barrio kids loved it, but I was not a fan. But I am a fan of agua de tamarindo. Agua de tamarino is sweet and tangy - my hubby describes it as sweet tea with lemon. I couldn't occupy described it better myself.
If you want agua de tamarindo this is the same recipe, or but I wanted to make paletas since it is #paletaweek and some of my amigas are celebrating on their blogs by sharing paleta recipes. Be certain to notice up the hashtag on Instagram to see what everyone is freezing up.
These beautiful amber colored paletas de tamarindo taste like sweet tea on a stick and are very refreshing,particularly on a sweltering hot day. They're the easiest pops you'll ever make - only three ingredients. These paletas melt pretty quickly so it's best to eat them right absent. Adding chunks of fruit to these paletas makes it that much better. Try chunks of mango or pineapple or if you like spice sprinkle some chili powder to the mixture.
