  1. Break the tamarind into small pieces and put it in a small pot with the water and sugar.
  2. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then simmer gently for 5 minutes.
  3. Turn off the heat, cool for 15 minutes, strain through cheesecloth or a coffee filter, and refrigerate.
  4. Pour over ice and add a few drops of rose water if you like.

Recipe reference

Scaled to one glass from Chef in Disguise's recipe (200 g tamarind, 1 liter water, 2/3 cup sugar); the source gives no yield, so this assumes about four glasses. The original only says to chill it; the ice is added here.
