In a large pitcher, combine the fresh lime juice, sugar, kala namak (black salt), regular salt, and roasted cumin powder (if using).
Pour in about 1 cup of the chilled water and stir vigorously for 1-2 minutes, or until the sugar and salts have completely dissolved. This creates a flavorful concentrate.
Add the remaining 3 cups of chilled water to the pitcher and stir well to combine everything.
Taste the nimbu pani and adjust the seasonings if necessary. You may add more sugar for sweetness, lime juice for tartness, or a pinch more salt to balance the flavors.
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes. Pour the prepared nimbu pani over the ice, garnish with fresh mint sprigs and a thin lime slice, and serve immediately for the most refreshing experience.
