How to make shikanji :-
1. In a glass jar or a bowl, add 4 cups cold or room temperature water.
Halve 2 small to medium-sized lemons or 3 small limes. Place them in a lemon press and squeeze the lemon juice into the water.
TIP: To get the most juice from your citrus, I recommend giving it a firm roll on the countertop for 15 to 20 seconds before halving.

2. Add 6 to 8 tablespoons of the sweetener of your choice; I used raw sugar, but white sugar, brown sugar, coconut sugar, honey or jaggery can all be used as well. Each will give a distinctive taste, so find what you like best!
First, add 6 tablespoons sugar and stir until all sugar is dissolved. Do a taste test and add 1 to 2 tablespoons sugar or more if required.

5. Add ½ to 1 teaspoon of chaat masala powder (or as required) to give some zing to your nimbu pani.

6. Add ¼ teaspoon black salt. While you can substitute regular salt, the black salt gives a distinctive sulphurous taste which pairs nicely with the flavors of lemon.
