Quick answer

Lemon Iced Tea: 20 ml Swa Lemon Tea Syrup + 150 ml chilled brewed black tea. Build over ice. Garnish with lemon wheel and mint. Ready in 60 seconds. Serves 1.

If your iced tea section has only one variant, it should be this one. Lemon iced tea is the most universally ordered cold tea drink in the Indian cafe and restaurant market — familiar, refreshing, and consistently satisfying. The Swa Lemon Tea Syrup brings a clean, bright lemon character without the artificial bitterness of cheap lemon concentrates. It's the version guests compare everything else against — and find wanting.

Batch-brew your tea, chill it overnight, and add the syrup per order. A one-minute build, zero skill requirement, and a drink that sells itself. Explore Swa's full iced tea range at drinkswa.com/pages/horeca.
