HIBISCUS

Drawing inspiration from traditional Chinese medicine, this recipe begins with brewing a pot of tea using dried roselle flowers and hawthorn slices—a combination known to aid digestion and boost metabolism. “In addition to the health benefits of these ingredients, we also chose them because of their bright colours, which can act as a mood-lifter,” says Mudaliar. Add an equal part of gin to the tea followed by a dash of honey and an egg white. Shake the concoction once, first without ice, before adding three cubes followed by a vigorous shake. We like how it resembles a gin or whisky sour but complemented by subtle notes of roselle and hawthorn.
