Ingredients
1
medium size lemon
2
glasses
water
1
teaspoon
roasted cumin powder
rock salt (edible and food grade)
or black salt as required
sugar
as required
4 to 5
leaves
mint
for garnishing, optional
a few ice cubes
Instructions
Cut the lemon in to two.
Take 2 glasses of a water in a bowl
With a lemon juice squeezer, squeeze the juice directly into the water.
Add black salt, sugar, jeera powder.
Stir till the sugar dissolves.
Pour the shikanji in glasses. Add ice cubes. Garnish with mint and serve shikanji immediately.
You can also make the shikanji and chill in the fridge and then serve.
Notes
If you are making shikanji for fasting, then add rock salt/sendha namak.
I have mentioned shikanji (indian lemonade) recipe details for making two glasses, but you can double and triple the drink.
