#BeatTheHeat : Refreshingly tasteful Shikanji

Google Maps contribution stories

Hello Local Guides,

This post is my contribution to “Beat the heat challenge” initiated by @MathanVibranarayan Post . As the summer heat shares it’s gratitude with planet Earth :globe_showing_americas: I started exploring and enjoying juices and shikanjis while travelling outside.
Shikanji and jaljeera are one of my favourite drinks to cool off in Delhi’s heat.

Shikanji is a refreshing drink in the summer, it’s basic ingredients include lemonade, chaat masala, cumin, mint, sweetener, ice cubes etc. It’s easy to make Shikanji at home, however when we are outside, seeing a stall selling Shikanji is like seeing an Oasis in the middle of a desert.

I decided to quench the thirst when I was in Shakurpur Metro station, and the Shikanji was delicious and a healthy option. I searched for the shop on Maps and saw that it wasn’t added yet. I immediately took the owner’s permission and added the place on Maps which got approved in minutes.

As the Summers get more torrid, these kinds of juice shops become the lifeline for travellers like us.

Shikanji was a drink that I came to know only after living in Delhi
Once I tasted it, I developed a liking for it since it is very suitable to #BeatTheHeat of Delhi

For the first time, I’m hearing about this! Shikanji should be an immune booster too, just like lime juice. Your pictures are as vibrant as you both are! :rainbow: Thanks for participating, @ShreyaMusings sister and @Ssiddharth2000 brother! :heart_eyes::clap:t2::raising_hands:t2:
