Quick answer

Hibiscus Iced Tea: 20 ml Swa Hibiscus Syrup + 150 ml chilled brewed black tea + squeeze of lemon. Build over ice. Garnish with dried hibiscus flower. Ready in 60 seconds. Serves 1.

Hibiscus iced tea does something few beverages manage: it looks extraordinary without any effort. The deep ruby colour of the Swa Hibiscus Syrup in chilled black tea produces a glass that stops people mid-scroll. Floral, tangy, and distinctly Indian — hibiscus (also known as roselle or Gongura) is a flavour with deep roots in South Indian tradition, and it translates beautifully into a contemporary cafe beverage.

It's the iced tea that gets photographed. That guests mention when they recommend the cafe. That earns a place on a curated menu card rather than a laminated sheet. Explore Swa's full tea range at drinkswa.com/pages/horeca.
