Pink Lemonade

This is so perfect for warm weather. It’s a pretty dark pink shade, from the hibiscus, and the lemon flavor is really lovely and strong. I drank this hot, but I can already tell it will be excellent as a cold brew.

I do wonder why David’s uses artificial flavorings. Artificial lime? Really? Because the real thing is SOOOOO hard to come by?

I really enjoyed this tea, but I am on the lookout for something similar without the artificial flavors.

I should know by now that these blends have something in them that I’m allergic to (even though the ingredient listing for this one seems shocking accurate and thorough on here). Regardless, I made up another 2L batch of this iced for the kidlets, and wanted to try it as my teenage daughter said, “This is my favorite so far, Mommy!” Funny, as we had this the other day, however I only steeped it hot for 4 minutes then prior to icing, whereas today it steeped for a good 15 minutes hot before icing.

It’s tart, even sweetened. I get more lemon-hibiscus than lemonade, but I get why my daughter likes it. While it’s infinitely better than the last time I had it, it’s still something I’ll shy away from. It’s also convincing me I just need to buy a boatload of TeaGschwendner’s Bamboo Pomelo and drink that iced all summer.

Preparation: 8 tsp tea in 4 cups of 200F water for 15 minutes, then with two cups of ice added and four teaspoons of Swerve.

VERY sweet, not mentioning the fact that I added rock sugar, not knowing it was already sweetened. Made it iced, I like the idea behind the tea, but it wasn’t very good. I’ll still give it another chance as I find it tastes of pink lemonade en masse, which I love. Next time, no sugar.

It might be minus thirty, still… But I am onto spring and spring teas. I love this tea cold steeped, enough to have refilled my tin for this spring. It and pink passionfruit are my staple teas to drink at cold at work.

I bought this one because my fiance LOVES pink lemonade. I’m trying to get him away from buying the pink lemonade mix or those super-sugared bottled versions and, voila!, found a tea replacement!

I cold-brewed this one overnight and used 1.5tsp per 8oz (instead of the recommended 1.25tsp); I got a very light pink tea that had a light fruity lemonade taste to it. Without sugar, it’s got a sour tang that builds as you drink it. According to my fiance, it’s spot on pink lemonade and only needs a tiny bit of sugar to make it perfect.

A definite reorder once we use up the 2oz we have! I’ll make a tea lover out of that guy yet!

This is one of the first teas I’ve gotten from Davids. I adore it! There is an aftertaste thåt is a little tin-ish but I don’t mind. It tastes exactly like pink lemonade! I drink it hot or cold, and my friends love it too. It turns a very pretty pink when steeped which is a bonus. I just wish it wasn’t pre-sweetened with the stevia. I would enjoy it much more if I could pick the sweetness on my own.

I drank this tea hot and I didn’t like it, it was to acid, maybe it could be better served on ice.

Day 17 of my do-it-yourself scavenger hunt advent calendar!

Smelling this one out of the package I fell in love instantly. I figured if it tasted anything like it smells this will be one of my new favourites. And I wasn’t disappointed. This tea was VERY sweet, but I kind of liked that. Normally I’m not a sweet tea kind of person but because this is pink lemonade I can deal with it. It reminds me a lot of the Kool Aid blue lemonade (which is actually berry lemonade, so just a blue version of pink lemonade) which is by far my favourite kind of Kool Aid. I definitely have to try this one iced. Might be my new favourite cold beverage!

Verdict: Will definitely buy. If they discontinue this one I’ll be sad panda.

Such a yummy iced tea!!

I thought that it would taste strong, and (*warning I’m about to make up a word) overpower-ingly tangy. Actually, it was surprisingly sweet and only a little bit tangy!

The person in the store made it really concentrated, and my mom was complaining that her tea pop was too weak. So I tried her tea pop and it actually had less flavor than my regular iced tea. I guess that makes sense…

So overall, it tastes exactly like lemonade! It’s delicious, sweet but not too sweet, and has just the right amount of tangy-ness :) This will definitely the perfect tea to quench your thirst on a hot summer day!
