What is in a Starbucks medicine ball?

Starbucks medicine ball tea uses hot water, lemonade, Teavana Jade Citrus Mint Tea, Teavana Peach Tranquility Tea, honey, and peppermint syrup. 

You can get the Teavana Jade Citrus Mint Tea and the Teavana Peach Tranquility Tea with these links if you don’t have them in stores near you. I’ve had a lot of luck finding them in Target stores especially, tho Walmart does carry certain Teavana teas as well!

The peppermint syrup you can grab with this link or you can find it in more stores that sell coffee and tea. You can leave the peppermint out if you want or use a skinny version of the syrup like this one to avoid the extra sugar!

Kitchen Essentials For Drink Recipes:

You can make a lot of drink recipes with your favorite infusion pitcher, or just make a batch of flavored water and carry it with you in your favorite reusable water bottle! 

It doesn’t matter how you decide to prep your drink recipe, you’ll be glad you did! It’s a more budget friendly alternative to stopping at Starbucks everyday.

Travel mugs like these are great for taking your copycat Starbucks drinks on the go. Steeping tea is really easy with this electric kettle!

Does medicine ball tea have caffeine?

Yes. The Jade Citrus Green Tea blend does have caffeine. It’s not the most caffeinated tea that Starbucks sells, for sure, but it does still have some caffeine.

If you can’t have caffeine I would recommend finding a different tea blend to include that has a lot of citrus notes.

For those of you looking for a pretty big caffeine boost, you won’t really get that with this drink. It’s not heavily caffeinated like a coffee or black tea would be!

How to make a Starbucks medicine ball tea:

This is a really easy copycat Starbucks recipe that anyone can master. With a few simple ingredients you’ll have everything you need to create this coffee shop classic at home whenever you want!

In your mug, add in the water and lemonade and microwave until it’s warmed to your liking. Or you can heat up the lemonade and use hot water from your Keurig. 

Next add in your tea bags and let the tea steep. 

Once the tea has steeped, add in your honey if you need a bit more sweetness and then add in a pump or two of the peppermint syrup.

Stir and Enjoy! 

Tips for making the perfect copycat Starbucks drink at home:

The peppermint syrup really brings the Starbucks essence to the drink. If you don’t want to include it you don’t have too but it will really bump the flavor up a notch and take this recipe over the top.

Also, make sure to steep the tea bags for at least 5 minutes. 

Steeping the tea for too short a time really impacts the overall flavor of the drink and of the tea itself. This article explains a lot of the benefits of properly steeping your tea!
