தமிழில் காண : கிளிக்  
Hi All,

Its hot summer ..hot hot and too hot..Iam wondering if Bangalore has such a high heat then what about other parts of India!! Food intake was gradually reduced in our home and everyone prefers for summer drinks and fruits 😁 ..So my refrigerator is full of fruits and drinks stuffs.

I make this nimbu pani in full batch and refrigerate , so everyday each takes a full glass .It is really very very refreshing and lemon is very good for health and beats summer heat.I added sabja / falooda seeds with nimbu pani , but if you can even skip it.But don't skip any other ingredient as each and every ingredient gives flavour to this drink.

Try this nimbu pani and enjoy bright summer..
