This medicine ball recipe can be found on Starbucks’ “secret menu.” Sometimes called “cold buster” or honey citrus mint tea, this pretty much sums up its flavor. It’s a very comforting hot drink when you’re feeling short of breath due to a cold or just need something to soothe an upset stomach. To be honest, I love this drink too, even when I’m feeling good. it’s delicious.
I can order it at Starbucks when I go out, but I prefer to make it at home because I can use fresh herbs and customize the flavor and sweetness to my liking.

How to make a Starbucks medicine ball
In a large mug, add lemonade mix, tea bags, honey, lemon slices, and mint leaves.
Heat water to about 200°F (93°C) and pour into a mug. This may result in a mixture of honey and lemonade, but if you find a mixture, stir the mixture a few times with a spoon to mix everything well.
Soak for 3-4 minutes. Serve immediately when cool enough. Not only is this delicious, but it also smells amazing.
tips on how to make
- If you use ready-made (bottled) lemonade instead of water and mix, this recipe requires heating the lemonade along with the water.
- Honey can help soothe a sore throat, but if you want to avoid all added sugar, leave out the honey or use less than this recipe calls for.
- Using peach tea makes this medicine ball recipe similar to the Starbucks version, but you can also use other fruit herbal teas like orange, mango, or raspberry if you prefer.
