shikanji
Shikanji or Nimbu Paani is a famous summer cooler of North India. It has always been one of my favorite drinks in summers as well as during Ramadan to break the fast. Its loaded with lots of Vitamin C and helps to balance the electrolytes in our body which are lost due to perspiration or long fasting hours during Ramadan.
