Shikanjvi is a super refreshing drink from India and Pakistan. It's made with lemons, just like lemonade, but it has its own special taste! People also call it shikanji or shikanjbeen.
What makes Shikanjvi different from regular lemonade? It often includes cool ingredients like salt, a spice called saffron, and cumin. It's a bit like a drink from Iran called Sekanjabin.
How to Make Shikanjvi
Want to try making a glass of Shikanjvi? Here’s a simple recipe:
- Ingredients:
- Two lemons (squeeze them to get all the juice!)
- A small piece of ginger
- One or two teaspoons of sugar (raw sugar is great if you have it)
- Half a teaspoon of salt
- Half a teaspoon of pepper
- Process:
- Pour cold drinking water into a glass.
- Add the lemon juice, ginger, sugar, salt, and pepper.

This is a classic way to make Shikanjvi. But you can also get creative! Some people like to add mint leaves or even a splash of rose water for a different flavor.
