Instructions
- Squeeze the lemons in a bowl and separate the seeds.
- Add sugar, black salt and salt in the lemon juice.
- Add enough water into it and stir well until the sugar dissolves.
- Take ice cubes in glasses and pour the mixture into each glass and serve chilled. I have avoided ice and used chilled water instead.
Recipe Notes
Additional Tips
- For an extra layer of aroma and flavor, lightly muddle a few fresh mint leaves in the glass before adding the Nimbu Pani mixture.
- If you prefer a sparkling version, substitute half the water with chilled club soda just before serving for a fizzy twist.
- To make a travel-friendly concentrate, mix lemon juice, sugar, black salt, and regular salt in advance; store it in the fridge, and simply dilute with cold water and ice as needed.
- For a subtle spicy kick, add a small pinch of roasted cumin powder or a few slices of fresh ginger while mixing the drink.
