Ingredients

10-12 fresh mint leaves
1 lemon or lime cut into small wedges
1-2 tablespoons sugar (or sugar syrup)
1/2 teaspoon black salt (kala namak)
1/4 teaspoon roasted cumin powder (jeera powder)

1 handful crushed ice or ice cubes
Chilled club soda (or Sprite/7Up for a sweeter twist)

Steps

Muddle: Put the mint leaves, lemon wedges, and sugar into a tall glass. Use a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon to gently crush them so the juices and mint oils release.
Add Spices: Mix in the black salt, roasted cumin powder, and chaat masala.
Add Ice: Fill the glass completely with crushed ice.
Top and Stir: Pour in the chilled club soda or lemon-lime soda up to the top. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
Garnish: Decorate with a mint sprig and a lemon slice, then serve cold.
