Soak the tamarind in about 5 Tbsp. of hot tap water. Stir until you have a
paste.
Strain the juice from the pulp, squeezing the pulp in a small strainer. Discard
the pulp.

Place another 5 Tbsp. of water in a small saucepan. Add 2 Tbsp. of the tamarind
juice, along with the remaining ingredients. Bring to a simmer and cook,
uncovered, for about 10 minutes, stirring often. The color should look like a
light brown syrup. You should have 3/4 c. liquid. If not, add additional water
and heat again for just a moment.
