The Starbucks Medicine Ball is the perfect hot tea drink for a sore throat, cold, or even as a pick me up!

Background: The Starbucks Medicine Ball is a drink that we’ve been making for years. It’s the perfect hot tea for a sore throat, cold, or even as a pick me up. When we discovered how easy it is to make at home, we started keeping the ingredients on hand all the time. Any time we have a family member that isn’t feeling too well, we whip up a Medicine Ball right away. If you’re out and about, stop by your local Starbucks and order a Medicine Ball. It’s not on their menu, but they’ll know!

  1. Combine water and lemonade and heat until hot.
  2. Steep tea bags in the mixture for 2-3 minutes. Remove the tea bags.
  3. Pour into a mug and add in honey. Stir to combine.
  4. Enjoy while its warm!

Check out our Santa Fe Chicken Chili for a great recipe on those cold days, or when you’re feeling under the weather.
