3. Season the Drink: Add salt, black salt (if using), roasted cumin powder, grated ginger, and chopped green chili. Mix well.
4. Add Lemon Juice: Squeeze in the lemon juice and stir to combine. Adjust the amount of lemon juice to balance the tanginess.
5. Garnish: Sprinkle finely chopped coriander leaves on top for freshness.
6. Serve: Pour the drink into a glass and serve immediately. You can add a few ice cubes for a chilled version.
