Starbucks shared the recommended Cold Remedy drink recipe :
- 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
- Pump of peppermint (optional)
If you went to Starbucks and bought this drink every day for a week — which is how long the common cold typically lasts — it would cost you more than $20.
Pick up all the ingredients for $10 by substituting less expensive brands of tea:
- Tazo Refresh Mint Tea, 20 bags: $2.49 (sale)
- Celestial Seasonings Country Peach Passion Tea, 20 bags: $2.27
- Simply Lemonade: $2.69
- Pure Honey Bear: $3.09
