   Break the tamarind pulp into chunks in a heatproof bowl and cover with 500 ml hot water.

2. 2

   Leave it to soak until soft, about 20 min.

3. 3

   Mash the pulp with your fingers or a fork until it comes off the seeds and fibres.

   Pour everything through a fine sieve into a jug. Press the pulp with the back of a spoon, then discard the seeds and fibres.

5. 5

   Add the sugar and stir until it dissolves.

6. 6

   Stir in 500 ml cold water. Taste and add more sugar if it is too sour; it should be sweet-tart.

8. 8

   Bruise the mint leaves in your palm and drop them into the jug.

9. 9

   Pour over plenty of ice cubes and serve with a mint sprig in each glass.
