Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 6 pieces Dates (pitted and finely chopped)
- 500 milliliters Water
- 10 pieces Ice cubes
- 1 teaspoon Sugar (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Pink salt or black salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 4 pieces Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mash the chopped dates with a fork until they form a coarse paste. Add 2-3 tablespoons of water to help soften them if needed.
In a large jug or mixing bowl, add the mashed dates and pour in the fresh lemon juice.
Slowly add water to the mixture while stirring to ensure the dates dissolve as much as possible into the liquid.
Add salt and ground cumin to the mixture and stir well to combine. Taste the drink and adjust sweetness by adding sugar if desired.
Fill 2 serving glasses halfway with ice cubes. Pour the prepared Nimbu Pani over the ice.
Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves, if using, and serve chilled.
