Recipe: Shikanji | How to make Shikanji, nimbu pani recipe
We would make shikanji often in the summers and keep on gulping it. We used to make it in bulk and keep in the fridge. It is so refreshing, plus you get loads of vitamin c in one drink. it is so hot now.

i have mentioned shikanji (indian lemonade) recipe details for making two glasses, but you can double and triple the drink.
