Funky, salty and exceedingly sour, nimbu pani is a cool reprieve from the sweltering summer days in Lahore and across most parts of South Asia. It also makes for an excellent iftar drink: It's instantly nourishing, and the salt hits differently after a long day of fasting. Kala namak, or Himalayan black salt, adds pungence to an already punchy drink. Add sugar, if you prefer balance over funk.
