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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
In a large jug or mixing bowl, add the mashed dates and pour in the fresh lemon juice.
Step 3
Slowly add water to the mixture while stirring to ensure the dates dissolve as much as possible into the liquid.
Step 4
Add salt and ground cumin to the mixture and stir well to combine. Taste the drink and adjust sweetness by adding sugar if desired.
Step 5
Fill 2 serving glasses halfway with ice cubes. Pour the prepared Nimbu Pani over the ice.
Step 6
Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves, if using, and serve chilled.
