Nimbu Pani Lemonade Recipes

Funky, salty and exceedingly sour, nimbu pani is a cool reprieve from the sweltering summer days in Lahore and across most parts of South Asia. It also makes for an excellent iftar drink: It's instantly nourishing, and the salt hits differently after a long day of fasting. Kala namak, or Himalayan black salt, adds pungence to an already punchy drink. Add sugar, if you prefer balance over funk.

Found online while searching for traditional Indian recipes at "Sailu's Kitchen". The recipe seems to use lemons and limes interchangeably, but I just used lemons in the ingredients as it is compared to lemonade. Here is what is stated about this drink: Vitamin C rich, Nimbu Pani aka Lemon water, a refreshing thirst quencher is a common summer drink in Indian homes. Basic recipe involves lime juice, water, sugar and pinch of salt. For a deeper lemony flavor, add the squeezed out lemons to the prepared lemonade and allow to sit for an hour or so. Strain and serve. For variation, add pinch of cardamom OR pinch of chat masala powder OR pinch of jaljira powder to a glass of Nimbu Pani.
