Ingredients
15
tamarind pods
4 1/2
cups
water
¾
cups
sugar
Instructions
Remove hard out shells from tamarind pods.
Bring tamarind pods and water to a boil.
While the tamarind is boiling mash them with a potato masher.
Remove from heat, cover, and let steep for about 30 minutes.
Using a colander strain the liquid, discard peels, strings, and seeds, and add sugar.
Pour into 10 3-ounce ice-pop molds.
Transfer molds to the freezer and freeze until slushy, about 30 minutes.
Insert a popsicle stick into each mold and freeze until pops are solid, about 3 hours more.
To release ice pops from molds, run the bottom of the molds briefly under warm water.
