About Nimbu Pani

Nimbu Pani is an age-old Indian drink, cherished long before the era of fancy beverages. Traditionally, it was the humble yet refreshing welcome offered to guests, embodying the warmth and hospitality of Indian homes. Even today, amidst the surge of modern drinks, the zesty flavor of Nimbu Pani remains unbeatable.
This timeless beverage is the ultimate way to beat the summer heat. With just a handful of simple ingredients—lemon, water, sugar, and a hint of black salt—Nimbu Pani comes together in minutes, offering instant relief after a day out in the scorching sun. Its simplicity and effectiveness make it a beloved classic that never goes out of style.

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.
