There are few drinks in our middle eastern cuisine that are related somehow to some special occasions, one of them is this Sweet Tamarind juice :) more like a welcome drink in the holy month of Ramadan.

This cold sweet and sour drink is a must on every Ramadani Iftar (break fast) table, as it is so refreshing and appetite improving.

Tamarind has many nutritional benefits, it improves digestion and contains anti-oxidants . Rich in different minerals and has Vitamin C .
