Notes
1.After making the lemon concentrate, add powdered sugar into the concentrate if required or preferred and dissolve well.
2.Never add sugar after making the lemon juice as the sugar does not dissolve well and takes lots of time to dissolve.
3.Adding more of black salt may turn the nimbu pani a bit bitter and hence adding the mentioned ingredients in proportion is very essential.
4.Storing the lemon concentrate is something that I do not prefer as making fresh nimbu drink tastes good and nimbu juice from stored concentrate may taste bitter.
5.If willing add roasted cumin seeds powder into the concentrate for extra flavor.
