Shikanji the Indian Lemonade with spices photo quest reflection
When you making something and taking photos you don't know how the photos will turn
Hello friends, have you heard of a drink called Shikanji? It originates from North India and is a kind of lemonade made with lemon or lime juice and some spices. This is my entry for a photography contest hosted by @qurator, with the theme of reflection.
Summer has already started in India, and soon we will return to our cold country to cool ourselves down. I made this drink last summer in Norway but forgot to post about it. However, I found a good opportunity to share it with you all now. Making this Shikanji drink is definitely worth it. It is a delicious and refreshing drink for the summer season.
this spice mixture is made specially for these drinks.
1/4 roasted cumin seeds
1/4 roasted fennel seeds( Both cumin and fennel have a soothing effect on the body, making them beneficial for individuals who are sensitive to warm, sunny weather.
5-6 black peppercorn
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black salt
2 tbsp sugar
Mix all ingredients and blend them using a mixer.
Here are some other ingredients:
1 lemon
Handful of fresh mint leaves.
Lemon zest from the same lemon. and 1 tsp sugar for the rim of the glass.
Juice lemon pour in mixer add mint leaves and blend it in fine paste.
Pour the liquid through the strainer to strain it.
Now we have all the required ingredients to make Shikanji.
Soda
Lemon and mint mixture
Lemon zest and sugar
Shikanji masala.
lemon slices for garnish
2-3 mint leaves top for garnish
A big soda bottle.
Rim the glasses using a mixture of lemon zest and sugar.
Pour 2 tbsp lemon mint juice into a glass.
Add 1 tsp Shikanji masala.
Blend it and keep it ready. When we are ready to drink pour soda in it.
Garnish with lemon slices and mint leaves.
This is my work, all the photos were taken by me.
Thank you.
