Banarasi Shikanji

🇮🇳 Indian

North Indian shikanji, lemonade with black pepper authority. Blender to glass in five minutes. Pour tall and cold; no garnish outranks the chill.

Prep 10 min Cook 8 min Serves 1 Easy

Ingredients

  • Lemon1
  • Sugar1 tsp
  • Black Pepper1 tsp
  • Dried Mint1 cup, chopped
  • Green Cardamom2, ground

Instructions

  1. 1

    Chill everything first — glasses, liquid, the works — cold is the texture.

  2. 2

    Add the lemon and sugar to the blender jar.

  3. 3

    Blend or whisk until smooth and slightly frothy; taste for sweetness.

  4. 4

    Add the black pepper and pulse once — enough to scent, not to shred.

  5. 5

    Top with the garnish, add a straw, and drink within minutes.

Chef's tip

Resting the finished dish for five minutes off the heat lets the spices settle and deepen.
