For a richer flavor, consider using tamarind pulp instead of concentrate. Soak the pulp in warm water for about 30 minutes, then strain to remove seeds and fibers before adding to the pitcher. Adjust the sweetness to your liking. Some tamarind concentrates can be quite tart, so you may need to add more sugar. Start with the recommended amount and adjust from there. For an extra touch of elegance, rim the glasses with sugar or chili-lime salt before filling. This agua fresca can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Stir well before serving.
