Nimbu Pani Recipe
Nimbu Pani is a simple and easy-to-make drink made with just a few basic ingredients. It consists of fresh lemons, sugar, and water.

Notes & Tips
- Salt: You could use normal salt or edible rock salt in place of black salt, in case not available.
- Sugar: Adjust sugar according to your taste buds or you can completely avoid it. Add honey or jaggery in place of sugar for healthier option.
- Water: You could also use chilled water in place of normal water and avoid adding ice cubes.
- More Add on Spices: You could also add black pepper powder or chaat masala in Nimbu Pani. However, I like to keep things simple.
