How to Make a Starbucks Medicine Ball at Home

On days when you need a little pick me up a Medicine Ball from Starbucks will set you straight. You won’t find it listed on the menu but you can ask for it at just about any Starbucks and they’ll make it for you! Ask for a Medicine Ball or their Honey Citrus Mint Tea. Does this make this a secret?? Well we’re spilling the tea (haha) about whats in this “Medicine Ball” and how to make it at home!

This drink is a go-to when you’re fighting Spring allergies, soothing cold symptoms or when we just want something hot & tasty without the caffeine. Each sip from your mug starts with a beautiful aroma and ends with sweet taste of honey. It is make up of jade citrus mint tea, peach tranquility tea, hot water, steamed lemonade and a bit of (or a lot of) honey. Steamed lemonade is just good old lemonade heated up to a near boiling temp. If you like extra sweet drinks you could add some peppermint syrup.
