How to Order a Medicine Ball on the Starbucks App
The Starbucks Medicine Ball is a popular, customizable drink, but it's not officially on the menu. This means you can't find it directly on the Starbucks app. However, with the right instructions, ordering it is easy! This guide will walk you through the process step-by-step.
Understanding the Medicine Ball
Before ordering, let's quickly review what a Medicine Ball is: It's a warm beverage typically made with a combination of passion tango tea, hot water, peach juice, and honey. The exact ratio can be adjusted to your preference.
Ordering Your Medicine Ball Through the Starbucks App
Here's how to successfully order a Medicine Ball using the Starbucks app:
-
Open the Starbucks App and Select "Order". This will begin the process of customizing your drink.
-
Choose Your "Hot Tea" While the Medicine Ball isn't listed directly, it's essentially a customized tea. Select the "Hot Tea" option.
-
Select "Passion Tango Tea". This is the base of your Medicine Ball.
-
Customize Your Drink. This is the most important part. Here's what to add:
- Peach Juice: Add a generous amount of peach juice. This will give you the signature Medicine Ball flavor. The amount depends on your preference; experiment to find your perfect balance.
- Honey: Add honey to sweeten. Again, adjust to your preference. Consider starting with one pump and adding more if needed. Some people prefer less or no honey for a more tart taste.
- Additional Notes: In the "add instructions" field you can write "Medicine Ball". You can also specify the amount of peach juice and honey for more precise results.
-
Review and Submit Your Order. Double-check all the customizations to ensure it's exactly how you want it. Once you're happy, place your order.
Tips for a Perfect Medicine Ball Order
- Be specific: Don't be afraid to be detailed in your customizations. The more specific you are, the better chance you have of getting exactly what you want.
- Consider substitutions: If they are out of peach juice, ask for a suitable substitute, such as another fruit juice.
- Check your order: Before heading to Starbucks, check the order summary to ensure everything is correct.
What if it's not quite right?
If your Medicine Ball isn't quite right upon pickup, politely request adjustments from the barista. They are usually happy to help if there was a miscommunication or error in the ordering process.
Remember, ordering a "Medicine Ball" directly won't work, but using the detailed customization options allows you to create it successfully. By following these steps, you can enjoy your favorite warm, comforting Starbucks Medicine Ball from the convenience of your phone.
