    A lovely drink but perhaps an over-complicated version of Sweet Lime Soda. Devi's recipe takes at least 8 hours as it needs to infuse. I mix lime, grated jaggery, salt, and top with tonic water or soda water. Add a slice of lime, ice cubes, and serve. Consume with some snacks while sitting on a cool verandah or garden seat.
