Shikanji is a popular North Indian drink that is made with lemon juice, sugar, water, and a few spices. It is a refreshing and cooling drink that is perfect for hot summer days.
The drink is typically made by mixing freshly squeezed lemon juice with sugar, water, black salt, roasted cumin powder, and sometimes a pinch of red chilli powder. The ingredients are then mixed well and served chilled with ice cubes and garnished with fresh mint leaves.
It is a great thirst quencher and is also believed to have digestive properties due to the addition of spices like cumin and black salt.
