- Nimbu (Lemon): 2 bade size ke (Fresh ras nikaal lein)
- Powdered Sugar (Pisi hui chini): 4-5 Table spoon (Apne taste ke anusar)
- Kala Namak (Black Salt): 1/2 Tea spoon
- Bhuna Jeera Powder (Roasted Cumin Powder): 1 Tea spoon

Banane Ki Vidhi (Step-by-Step Instructions)
Step 1: Pudina Ko Crush Karein (Muddling)
Sabse pehle ek mortar-pestle (khalbatta) ya kisi glass mein fresh pudina ke patte dalein. Isme 1 chamach nimbu ka ras daal kar halka sa crush kar lein (koot lein). Dhyan rahe: Patto ka paste nahi banana hai, sirf unka flavor aur essential oils release karne hain.
Step 2: Base Masala Taiyar Karein
Ab ek bada jug lein. Isme crushed pudina patte, bacha hua nimbu ka ras, pisi hui chini, kala namak, bhuna jeera powder aur chaat masala daal dein.
Step 3: Mix Karein
In sabhi dry ingredients aur ras ko ek spoon ki madad se achhi tarah mix kar lein taaki chini aur masale aapas mein mil jayein. (Powdered sugar jaldi dissolve hoti hai, isliye iska use karna best hai).
Step 4: Paani Ya Soda Add Karein
Ab is jug mein bahut saari ice cubes dalein. Uske baad upar se bilkul thanda paani daalein. Agar aapko ek fizzy cafe-style drink chahiye, toh aap paani ki jagah Club Soda ya Sprite/Limca (agar Sprite use karein toh chini kam daalein) ka use kar sakte hain.
Step 5: Garnish Aur Serve Karein
Sabhi cheezon ko ek baar achhi tarah stir (mix) karein. 2 serving glasses lein. Drink ko glasses mein pour karein. Upar se ek patla lemon slice aur ek fresh pudina ka patta lagakar thanda-thanda serve karein!
Perfect Shikanji Ke Liye Pro-Tips 💡
- Shikanji Masala Premix: Agar aap roz shikanji peete hain, toh Bhuna jeera, kala namak, safed namak, aur thodi si kali mirch (black pepper) ko mix karke ek airtight container mein store kar lein. Jab banana ho, bas ek chamach mix daalein.
- Sugar Syrup Ka Use: Pisi chini ki jagah aap sugar syrup (chaashni) banakar fridge mein rakh sakte hain. Isse time bachega aur shikanji mein chini bilkul evenly mix hogi.
- Jaggery (Gud) Option: Agar aap chini avoid karna chahte hain, toh aap isme honey (shehad) ya gud ka powder (jaggery powder) bhi use kar sakte hain.
Enjoy your refreshing homemade Mint Lemon Shikanji!
