DIY – Starbucks ‘Medicine Ball’

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
