Based off of a comment here, I decided to try this in some Chick-fil-A lemonade. It was a hot day, so I hit it up before coming home from some meetings. I added a small scoop of strawberry matcha to a medium lemonade. A quick stir turned the whole lemonade a sickly shade of pea green (not unlike matcha itself); the deep matcha taste played well off the lemonade, although I wish there was more of a strawberry flavour. Ah well.

hmm, I just used plain Teavana matcha (I don’t have any flavored matcha yet). I bet the plain would be good in strawberry lemonade though – it’s great in strawberry yogurt smoothies! I’m not sure what a good fast food/grocery store strawberry lemonade is though. I just don’t see myself pureeing strawberries and juicing lemons to make my own anytime soon.
Yeah if it’s anything like the orange, it really does not stand up to the addition of flavors, that’s why I do not personally suggest adding this one to yogurt… unless possibly plain- not even vanilla… it’s quite a waste. Although I do want to try some on chocolate frozen yogurt.
Since it went favorably for you, I definitely want to try this, providing I have any Strawberry Matcha left next time I get to Chick-Fil-A.
