How to Make a Knockoff Starbucks Medicine Ball Tea Recipe - Stone Family Farmstead

It’s the time of year when cold and flu are prevalent, and we look for a good cup of hot tea that will help us get well and stay well. This knockoff Starbucks medicine ball recipe is one that’s been around our household since my daughter first made it.

My youngest Ezra has always been a whiz in the kitchen. They have very specific tastes, and often, those tastes are much more sophisticated than my own. At the first sign of a cold, they would head straight to Starbucks for their Medicine Ball Tea (also known by some as Coldbuster Tea).

Because Starbucks isn’t the cheapest place to get coffee and tea as much as they felt they needed it, Ezra decided to put their kitchen skills to work up and write a recipe that was comparable to the tea they love so much. This is Ezra’s recipe, and they have given me permission to share it with you.

Ezra’s Knockoff Starbucks Medicine Ball Tea Recipe

This recipe is really simple, and while similar, is different in ingredients than many of the recipes that you can find online. Still, it’s yummy and soothing to a sore throat, just the same.

Ezra’s Knockoff Starbucks Medicine Ball Tea

Ezra Stone
This recipe is best made with mint green tea, but if you don't mind skipping the mint, just green tea tastes great too. If you love mint and can't find mint green tea, add a bag of mint tea, or some fresh mint leaves to the brew and strain off before drinking.

Servings 1 person

Ingredients
  

  • 4 bags green tea
  • 2 bags peach tea
  • 2-3 bag mint tea
  • 1/8 c honey* or to taste
  • 1/8 c lemon juice (fresh is best, but bottled is fine) or to taste

Instructions
 

  • Steep green tea for 3 mins in 8 oz. 165 degree water. (Green tea burns, and tastes awful if steeped at too high a temperature or for too long.)**
  • Once green tea is finished steeping, pour it into a quart jar and add honey and lemon.
  • In a separate mug, steep peach and mint tea bags in 8 oz. boiling water, about 5 minutes.**
  • Pour peach and mint teas into quart jar when finished brewing.
  • Top off with room temperature or warm water, depending on the temperature you prefer.
  • Adjust lemon and honey to taste.

Notes

*Honey is recommended for this recipe, as sugar will cause the flavor to be different, and it doesn’t taste as good.
**If tea steeping times or temperatures are different than instructions, steep according to instructions on the package.
