Shikanji – An Indian Lemonade is favorite summer drink of India. Made with lemon & special type of masala, this is a coolant drink during summers.
Indian summers are pretty harsh. And the region of central India has an ample amount of heat specially dry hot winds. So one needs to be fully hydrated during this time. So when in summer , we have drinks like Panna, Lassi, and Shikanji.
During summer , we can see street vendors selling this drink along with sugarcane juice, milkshakes & kulfies. And people gathering around them in the mid of afternoon to cool themselfves from the scorching heat.
Among all the coolers, this Shikanji has been our favorite. Lemons being the major ingredient here, this citrusy drink is thirst quencher . A special masala known as Shikanji Ka Masala is used to make this drink. With this masala in stock, it is the easiest drink to prepare. Sometimes, instead of water, we add soda water & crushed mint to give that extra zing of flavor.
