Summer on a Stick: Nimbu Sharbat Ice Candy by Hitkary

Close your eyes for a moment. Think back to a summer afternoon — the kind where the fan barely made a difference, your shirt stuck to your back, and the only plan was finding a way to beat the heat.

And then — the sound of a bell. Not a doorbell, not a ringtone. The ice candy wala.

You’d run barefoot to the gate, sweaty rupee in hand, eyes scanning for the yellow one — nimbu, the OG lemon ice candy.

That memory? We’re bringing it back — with a little help from Hitkary.

Hitkary limon twist (Nimbu Sharbat)

Let’s face it — we’ve all grown up. The ice candy wala doesn’t come by anymore. And even if he did, we probably wouldn’t hear his bell over all the deadlines and phone calls.

But the craving is still there, hidden somewhere in a quiet corner of our hearts. That urge to pause, to go back for just one bite of those carefree days.

That’s exactly why we made this: Hitkary Nimbu Sharbat Ice Candy — a simple, homemade way to relive those memories, right from your freezer. No street corner, no cart, no chaos — just lemony, icy joy, ready when you are.

 How to Make It at Home

What You Need:

• 3 parts Hitkary limon twist
  
  

• 3 parts chilled water
  
  

• A few mint leaves (optional)
  
  

• A pinch of black salt (if you want that tangy kick)
  
  

Ice candy molds or even simple plastic sleeves

What to Do:

1. Mix the sharbat and water to your taste.
   
   

2. Add mint or black salt if you’re feeling nostalgic for that street-style twist.
   
   

3. Pour it into molds.
   
   

4. Freeze for at least 6 hours.
   
   

5. Peel. Bite. Smile.
   
   

Make it on a slow Sunday. Or late at night when the house is quiet. These little moments are the new summer vacations.

Not Just a Popsicle — It’s a Pauseicle

This isn’t just a frozen treat. It’s a pause button. A tiny trip back to simpler times — where the biggest decision of the day was aam or nimbu.

With Hitkary limon twist, we’re helping you turn five minutes in your kitchen into five minutes of childhood. Because even if we’ve grown up, there’s no reason we can’t still feel that same joy.

So this summer, don’t just cool down. Take a little detour down memory lane.

Make your own lemon ice candy. Share it with your kids. Or don’t — keep it for yourself. We won’t judge.
