This month I’m focusing on the various samples of Bird & Blend, between the advents I didn’t do during advent season and a separate sampler. I also got a sample of this with my last order, so it seemed appropriate to start here.
It’s a pleasant hibiscus blend, but the hibiscus is most of what I get here. I’m not sure I notice anything that feels particularly like strawberry lemonade. There’s a bit of a vague berry and a little more brightness to the hibiscus than in most of my other blends, perhaps from the lemon? It’s pretty in the bag and makes a solid fruity cup. I attempted to use a couple bags to make a small iced tea and it wasn’t potent enough – you’d need a lot of this to get good iced flavor.

Aw I love this one, I hope they haven’t changed the recipe!
I realized much later that lemonade is also something different here, so that may have been why I didn’t recognize the connection!
Wait, really?? I didn’t know that! What is your lemonade?
This is so late; I don’t even know if you’ll see it! But lemonade in the US is tart – lemon juice sweetened to taste with sugar (different preference levels in how sweet it is). The best strawberry lemonade is just a lemonade with strawberries mashed or blended into it, so you get a sweet and tart, very flavorful drink that’s basically juice with extra sugar.
Also, no bubbles.
