Starbucks Medicine Bomb

SeasonedCitizen — Tue, 02 Nov 2021 15:42:37 GMT

Been battling cough and eye problems this past week and my daughter brought me a "medicine bomb". And it was WONDERFUL. Starts with green tea and then whatever else they add.

It was so soothing. I have never had any Starbucks products so didn't know what to expect. Took me to the Dr yesterday and I had to go through Starbucks for another bomb. They didn/t have any honey as they are having a hard time getting it, so we added the honey at home.

Highly recommend it!

For those who might be curious- this is the typical "recipe" for Medicine Ball (tho sbux doesn't like the name haha liability) - some people add flavor syrup like vanilla and/or peppermint too.

1 Venti cup with half hot water and half steamed lemonade
1 bag of Teavana Jade Citrus Mint Tea
1 bag of Teavana Peach Tranquility Tea
Packet of honey

Edit to add: I thought they did add it to their menu, and they did, with an official drink name of "Honey Citrus Mint Tea"

I have never tried it but I have a friend who swears by its medicinal properties.

I have been getting Medicine ball tea at Starbuck's for several

years...it's so good and soothing. Helps us feel better.

I also have the recipe and sometimes make at home.

Simple to make and tastes good.

Yes it's called a "medicine ball" not "medicine bomb". They used to make it with honey blend syrup but that's been discontinued, or is temporarily unavailable at least.

For a Venti it's typically two honey packets.

I will absolutely vouch for a good ginger and lemon tea of any brand. And for ginger in general. A small piece of candied ginger is what we take for any tummy ache and it really really works!

So I'd add some ginger tea to the "bomb!" FOR sure!

I can vouch for how good they are. Whenever I'm on the verge of not feeling well or I'm getting run down, I stop and get one. Last year when I had Covid, I lived on them.
