1

Infuse Tamarind and Thyme

Begin by creating a delicious tamarind and thyme infusion. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, 1/4 cup of tamarind paste, and a handful of fresh thyme sprigs. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once the liquid has reduced slightly, remove it from the heat and let it cool completely. Strain the mixture to remove the thyme sprigs and set aside the infused tamarind liquid.

2

Mix the Tonic

Now it's time to mix up the thyme tamarind tonic! In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 ounces of your favorite gin or vodka, 1/2 ounce of freshly squeezed lime juice, and 1/2 ounce of simple syrup. Add a handful of ice to the shaker and give it a good shake for about 15 seconds to chill the mixture and combine the flavors.

Add the Infusion

Once your tonic is mixed, strain it into a glass filled with ice. Take your infused tamarind liquid and slowly pour it over the back of a spoon into the glass. This will create a beautiful layered effect, with the tamarind sinking to the bottom. You can also gently stir the drink to incorporate the flavors if you prefer.
