Let’s Make a Copycat Starbucks Medicine Ball Tea at Home

What Is A Starbucks Medicine Ball Tea?

You may have heard that a Starbucks Medicine Ball Tea is just the thing to order when you’re feeling lousy. It used to be on the Starbucks secret menu, and people would order it as the “Starbucks Medicine Ball Tea” or the “Cold Buster Tea”. But Starbucks recently added it to the menu and now you can order this drink from any Starbucks as the Honey Citrus Mint Tea. It includes:

• Steamed lemonade
• Hot water
• Jade Citrus Mint green tea
• Peach Tranquility tea
• Honey

In order to make this tasty drink at home, I put together frozen lemon/ginger/honey nuggets and add them to brewed tea. You can use them in hot or cold tea (although my preference is hot.)

What Kind of Tea Makes The Best Medicine Ball?

You can make this recipe with any tea that you like. I like to use mint tea or a combination of a fruity tea (peach, passionfruit or rooibos) AND a mint tea bag. But it works just as well with black or green tea.
