Tamarind-Calamansi Juice

Tamarind-Calamansi Juice

When I graduated out of college, I breathed a sigh of relief. No, not because I will be able to get a job soon or… that schooldays are over.

There was a sigh of relief because I thought I won’t be covering books with plastic covers anymore. Yes, this is a major issue with me. Well, I was wrong. The books that I needed to cover just tripled. Instead of just one set, I now do three sets annually. I just finished covering my daughter’s and my two little nieces’ books with plastic covers.

If you are unfamiliar with this, it’s covering school books with a thick clear cover to protect them from wear and tear. It’s cutting, folding, measuring and putting scotch tape in each and every book.

This belongs to my I-don’t-want-to-but-I-have-to-do list.

Whew! I just have to get it out of my system. Now, that it’s out, we can talk more about this Tamarind-Calamansi Juice.

Tamarind-Calamansi Juice

I’ve had my share of tamarind-inspired drinks over the years like Tamarind Iced Tea and Tamarind Smoothie, both of which made an impression that tamarinds are not only meant for cooking.

So when I had some leftover tamarind purée from my Beef Rendang, I already knew what I was going to do with it. I would probably have to launch a week-long tamarind series here at The Peach Kitchen just to make sure I get my money’s worth on that jar.

Some of those on my mind are Tamarind Prawns and Tamarind-Glazed Roast Chicken. Sounds delicious, right? Don’t worry, you’ll see them in my upcoming posts.

Tamarind-Calamansi Juice

Meanwhile, let me share with you this refreshing drink. This is supposed to be tamarind-lime drink but my thoughts are:

  • lime isn’t always available at the nearby wet markets or groceries
  • the limes I saw at the grocery yesterday seemed like they were there since last year
  • lime costs more than calamansi
  • we have an abundance of calamansi and it is readily available anywhere, even the sari-sari store or talipapa.

That’s how it became Tamarind Calamansi Juice. Also, if you don’t have tamarind purée, you can make one from fresh tamarinds. Just soak some ripe tamarind in warm water, mash it and discard the seeds. Pass it through a strainer to get your tamarind purée.

    First of all, this drink looks awesome! So, so beautiful! Second of all, I hated covering books, too! But I remember being threatened with detention if I didn’t! Sad to hear it’s still going on!!

    Sues

    This is nice. It’s true about the calamansi though. Its easier to find here and they are much cheaper than lemon although the taste varies. Looking forward for the Tamarind shrips Ms. Peach!

    One of my favorite is the tamarind. But I just eat it like specially the ripe one. I’m not aware that it’s possible as a juice. I will try your tamarind-calamansi juice later. Thanks for your recipe.

As a LACTUMama, I'm always on the lookout for acti As a LACTUMama, I'm always on the lookout for activities that will help support Twinkle's Immunity, Brain and Bones. Good thing this All Around Development Kit from @Lactum3 arrived over the week, kaya naman ito ang aming bonding activity this weekend!

Ang saya ni Twinkle because it has all the fun exercises and activities she really enjoys doing. We planted Arugula, Mustard, and Alfalfa seeds, painted the post, solved a puzzle, and played Twister. Afterwards, I made sure to give her a glass of cold Vitaminized Lactum 3+ which helps support her all-around development in Immunity, Brain and Bones with proper nutrition and stimulation.
