Shikanjvi or Shikanjabeen is a lemon-based drink originating in the northern part of India and Pakistan.[1] Alternative names include shikanji, shikanjbi and shikanjbeen. Shikanjvi is distinct from lemonade, and often contains other ingredients such as salt, saffron and cumin.[2] It is similar to the Iranian beverage Sekanjabin.
