Lemonade with an Indian twist(Chatpata Nimbu Pani)



Nimbu Paani is a delicious thirst quencher made from freshly squeezed lemons, salt and sugar. It has a clean and refreshing flavor and is rich with vitamin C.
Cool down on a hot summer day with this very refreshing drink. It's lemonade with an Indian twist!
INGREDIENTS:

* Juice of 4 lemons
* Sugar/honey to taste
* 2 tbsps Jaljira powder (available at most Indian groceries)
* Chilled water
* Crushed ice
* Lemon slices to garnish



PREPARATION:


1) Squeeze all lemons to remove juice and strain the juice to remove seeds. Pour into a large jug.
2) Add all the remaining ingredients to get desired strength and sweetness and mix well.
3)Serve in chilled glasses garnished with lemon slices.

Note:-* Nimbu Paani also acts as a great mixer for cocktails specially with vodka.

  1. Thanks Sireesha for visiting my blog.

    Nimbu Pani looks yummy. Adding Jaljeera powder really makes it delicious. But when I don't have Jaljeera powder handy, I add little bit of cardamom :) Try it someday. Its a interesting twist.
