How To Make Starbucks Medicine Ball At Home

To make a Starbucks Medicine Ball at home, start by gathering the necessary ingredients: one bag of Teavana Jade Citrus Mint tea, one bag of Teavana Peach Tranquility tea, hot water, steamed lemonade, and honey. Begin by boiling water and steeping the Jade Citrus Mint tea bag in half a cup of the hot water. In a separate cup, steep the Peach Tranquility tea bag in another half cup of hot water. While the teas are steeping, heat half a cup of lemonade until it is warm and frothy. Combine the steeped teas in a large mug and add the steamed lemonade. Stir in a tablespoon of honey, adjusting to taste, for added sweetness and soothing properties. The combination of the minty, citrusy Jade Citrus Mint and the fruity, floral Peach Tranquility creates a comforting and aromatic beverage. The steamed lemonade adds a tangy, warming element, while the honey offers a natural sweetness and throat-soothing quality. This homemade version of the popular Starbucks drink is perfect for enjoying on a cold day or when you need a comforting and refreshing pick-me-up. Adjust the ingredients to suit your taste preferences and enjoy the soothing, aromatic blend.

Tips for preparing a homemade Medicine Ball

Struggling to find the perfect tea blend for your homemade Medicine Ball? The flavor profiles you need include lemon verbena, lemongrass, and spearmint for the Jade Citrus Mint tea, and peach, candied pineapple, chamomile blossoms, lemon verbena, and rose hips for the Peach Tranquility tea. If you're looking for alternatives, Medicine Ball enthusiasts on Reddit recommend Tazo's Calm tea or Adagio's Citrus Mint green tea as substitutes for Jade Citrus Mint. For Peach Tranquility, you might consider Republic of Tea's Ginger Peach tea, Plum Deluxe's Tranquil Peach tea, or Adagio's Peach Serenity, as suggested in another Reddit discussion.

Once you've selected your favorite teas, making the drink is quite straightforward. Simply combine and heat equal parts water and plain lemonade, either on the stovetop or in the microwave. Then, steep two tea bags in the mixture for two to three minutes, or follow the steeping time recommended by the brand. Finally, mix in honey and, if desired, a splash of peppermint extract to taste. If you prefer a bolder tea flavor without any bitterness, try adding an extra tea bag or reducing the amount of lemonade.
