Shikanji | Nimbu Paani
11:46 AM
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.
Ingredients:
Water - 2 glasses, chilled
Lemon -1
Sugar - 4 tsp, adjust according to preference
Rock salt - 1/4 tsp, adjust according to preference
Cumin powder - 1/4 tsp, roasted
Ice cubes - few, optional
Mint leaves and lemon slices - for garnishing
Method:
Take the water in a jug, and directly squeeze the lemons in it
Add all other ingredients and mix well till the sugar dissolves
Pour in glasses and add in ice cubes
Decorate with mint leaves, lemon slices and serve chilled
Note:
It was done in a hurry, so I did not garnish it
