You order a “Medicine Ball” in the Starbucks app by selecting its official menu name: Honey Citrus Mint Tea.

What the “Medicine Ball” Is

  • “Medicine Ball” is the nickname; the official Starbucks name is Honey Citrus Mint Tea.
  • It’s typically made with Jade Citrus Mint tea, Peach Tranquility tea, steamed lemonade, and honey.
  • Because of the “medicine” nickname, Starbucks usually avoids that term in the app and in-store.

Step‑by‑step: How to Order It on the App

Here’s the most common path in the current Starbucks app layout (wording can vary slightly by region and updates):

  1. Open the Starbucks app and sign in to your account.
  1. Tap Order or Order Ahead at the bottom of the screen.
  1. Use one of these options:
    • Use the Search bar at the top and type “Honey Citrus Mint Tea” (you can also try “Medicine Ball” and it may redirect).
 * Or browse: **Drinks → Hot Teas → Honey Citrus Mint Tea** (sometimes under “Green Tea” or “Under 200 Calories”).
  1. Tap Honey Citrus Mint Tea when it appears. This is your Medicine Ball.
  1. Customize if you like:
    • Adjust tea bags (Jade Citrus Mint / Peach Tranquility).
 * Change honey pumps or add/remove lemonade.

 * You can also add peppermint syrup if you like that version.
  1. Choose your size, tap Add to Order , then pick your store and pay as usual.

If You Can’t Find It

Sometimes the app or store menu behaves differently:

  • Try searching “Honey Citrus Mint” instead of the full name, or just “citrus mint”.
  • If your store doesn’t list the combo drink, you can build it manually:
    • Order Jade Citrus Mint hot tea and Peach Tranquility hot tea,
    • Add steamed lemonade and honey in the customizations (if available),
    • Optionally note “Medicine Ball style” in the pickup name or comments if your market allows it.
  • Worst case, place a simple hot tea order and tell the barista in person you want a Honey Citrus Mint Tea / Medicine Ball ; they’ll usually know what you mean.

Extra Tips & “Latest” Context

  • Starbucks officially added Honey Citrus Mint Tea to the menu after the Medicine Ball went viral as a customer “secret menu” drink.
  • In some regions, staff are encouraged not to call it “Medicine Ball” for legal/health reasons, even though customers still use the nickname a lot.
  • You can often schedule a pickup time later in the day in the app, which is handy if you want it ready when you arrive.

TL;DR: In the Starbucks app, don’t look for “Medicine Ball” in the menu names—search and order Honey Citrus Mint Tea , then customize honey, lemonade, and tea bags to match your favorite version.
