Recipe - Tamarind Cooler

2 One half cup Boiling water
One fourth cup Firmly packed light brown
sugar
2 tablespoon Minced crystallized ginger
1 tablespoon Tamarind paste, or to taste
1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice, or to
taste
Thin lemon slices for
garnish

Here's a nice one, from Gourmet magazine

In a bowl whisk together the boiling water, the brown sugar, the ginger,
and the tamarind paste until the mixture is combined well, let the mixture
cool, and strain it through a fine sieve set over a pitcher. Stir in the
lemon juice and chill the mixture for at least one hour, or until it is
very cold. Divide the cooler among tall glasses filled with ice cubes and
garnish each drink with a lemon slice. Makes about 4 cups, serving 4.
