The Starbucks Medicine Ball is a popular, albeit unofficial, drink loved for its soothing, comforting qualities. Many find it helpful for easing cold and flu symptoms. But ordering it through the Starbucks app requires a little know-how, as it's not on the standard menu. This guide will walk you through the process step-by-step.
Understanding the Medicine Ball Recipe
Before diving into the app ordering process, let's quickly review what makes a Medicine Ball:
- It's a customized drink, not a pre-set item. This means you'll need to build it yourself using the app's customization options.
- The base is a hot Passion Tango Lemonade. This provides the fruity tang and warmth.
- It includes a hot Jade Citrus Mint Tea. This adds the herbal and refreshing elements.
- Usually, it includes honey. This sweetens the drink and soothes the throat.
Ordering Your Medicine Ball on the Starbucks App
Here's how to successfully order your Medicine Ball through the Starbucks app:
-
Open the Starbucks App and Locate "Order": Once you've opened the app and signed in, navigate to the ordering section. You'll typically find a large button or tab labeled "Order" or something similar.
-
Select "Hot Beverages": From the beverage menu, select the "Hot" tab, then find and choose "Tea." This is where we'll build our base.
-
Select "Jade Citrus Mint Tea": Choose the "Jade Citrus Mint Tea" option. This is a crucial ingredient.
-
Customize Your Order: Now comes the customization. This is where the magic happens. This is the most important step because you have to follow the recipe correctly.
- Change the size. Choose your preferred cup size (Tall, Grande, Venti).
- Add Passion Tango Lemonade. This is the other main component. Use the customization options to add a "Passion Tango Lemonade" of the same size as your tea.
- Add Honey. For optimal Medicine Ball experience, add honey (or your preferred sweetener). The amount is entirely up to your preference.
-
Review and Submit Your Order: Before confirming, double-check your order to ensure it matches the Medicine Ball recipe: Jade Citrus Mint Tea, Passion Tango Lemonade, Honey, and the correct size. Once everything looks correct, proceed to submit your order for pickup or delivery.
Tips for Ordering a Perfect Medicine Ball
- Use the "Add to Favorites" Feature: Once you've successfully ordered your Medicine Ball, add it to your favorites for future quick ordering. This saves time and ensures consistency!
- Be Clear With Baristas (if ordering in person): If you prefer ordering in person or if there are any issues, verbally confirm your order with the barista to prevent any misunderstandings.
- Experiment with Modifications: While the traditional recipe is fantastic, don't be afraid to experiment. Some people prefer adding a splash of milk or adjusting the honey to their liking.
Troubleshooting: My Starbucks App Doesn't Show Passion Tango Lemonade
If you don't see Passion Tango Lemonade listed, there could be a few reasons:
- Seasonal Availability: Passion Tango Lemonade's availability might be limited to certain seasons or locations.
- App Glitches: Sometimes the app experiences temporary glitches. Try logging out and back in, or restarting the app.
- Location-Specific Menu: Your location's Starbucks may not carry this specific lemonade.
Following these steps, you’ll be well on your way to enjoying a perfectly crafted Medicine Ball ordered directly through the convenience of the Starbucks app. Remember, it's a customizable drink, so feel free to tweak the recipe to your preference!
