As the saying goes, when you have limes, make a lemonade, then why the delay?
Fresh Lemon Juice is called as Nimbehannina Panka in Kannada. It is often made during Ram Navmi as an offering to the Lord along with butter milk. It is also a part of the Haldi kum kum tradition in South India. Ladies are usually served fresh lemon juice along with a lentil salad.
The making of fresh lime or lemon juice needs no introduction. You must be wondering why a post should even be written about it? Yeah, it is that simple one which anyone can make. But here are a few ingredients which enhances the taste of it. Addition of a few strands of saffron lends a divine taste to it. A dash of cardamom powder gives a good aroma and taste to the drink. Do not forget to add a pinch of salt.
