Step by Step Method
Step 1
Put the tamarind in a medium bowl, add 2/3 cup of warm water, and let sit for 10 minutes.
Step 2
Using your bare hands, squish the paste and water together into a liquid slurry.
Step 3
Remove and discard all seeds and pods.
Step 4
In a large, clean, odorless jar with a tight lid, combine the tamarind slurry with all the remaining ingredients, plus 1/4 cup of water, and stir or shake to blend. Wrap the jar in brown paper or enclose in a brown paper bag and store in a cool, dark place for 2 weeks to allow the flavors to develop.
Step 5
Shake the contents of the jar every few days.
Step 6
After 2 weeks, strain the contents of the jar through a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl, pressing hard on the solids to harvest as much liquid as you can. Discard the solids.
Step 7
Using a funnel, pour the Worcestershire sauce into a pour-top or shaker-top bottle. Label and date the jar. Note that the liquid will settle and become more cloudy on the bottom; this is just the natural characteristic of the brew.
