Lemonade
Also called: lemonade, nimbu pani, limbu pani, shikanji, nimbu paani, lemon water, nimbu panii, lemonade drink
Lemonade, ya nimbu pani, is that classic Indian summer drink that shows up in every home, roadside stall, and office canteen when the heat gets too much. Tangy lemon, a little salt, mint, and that sweet-cool sip with ice makes it feel instant relief in a glass.

What Goes Into It
Per serving (1 glass)
gastroenterology Gut Health Insight
This drink is light on the stomach and the lemon brings vitamin C, which supports digestion and helps the body absorb iron from your meal. The salt helps replace a bit of sodium lost in sweat, especially on hot days, while mint can feel soothing if your tummy is feeling heavy. Since the recipe has quite a bit of sugar, the gut-friendly trick is to ask for less sugar or make it at home with jaggery or just a touch of sweetness, so you still get the refreshment without the sugar spike.
