The “Medicine Ball” is basically a cough drop in tea form.
Last fall, a new drink off the Starbucks secret menu — the Medicine Ball — gained buzz for its ~restorative cold-fighting powers~ and delicious sweet, minty taste.
The drink got so popular, in fact, that Starbucks recently added it to its official menu.

The beverage, also known as the Cold Buster, is made of equal parts steamed lemonade and water + one bag of Jade Citrus Mint Tea + one bag of Peach Tranquility + a packet of honey + an optional pump of mint syrup.
