    Starbucks Medicine Ball FAQs

    Starbucks does use peach tea and a mint tea so I highly recommend you use it for a similar taste. However, you can get as creative as you like in your tea choices!

    Can I use peppermint tea?

    I have tried to make peach/peppermint tea and it turned out great, so go ahead!

    Can I use homemade lemonade?

    Yes, the homemade lemonade will be even better because it will contain less sugar.

    Can I use peach juice?

    I haven’t tried this idea, but it sounds amazing as well! Though I do recommend peach tea because it has less sugar!

      This tea is super easy to make and really delicious — and much better than paying my life savings for one serving at Starbucks! Love that you provide alternative tea options too. Will be fun to get creative with the options.
