Ingredients Needed:

• 2 cups water
• 1 sachet Teavana Jade Citrus Mint tea
• 1 sachet of Teavana Peach Tranquility tea
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 1/2 cups lemonade
• 1 sprig of fresh mint 
• 1 slice lemon 

How To Make Medicine Ball?

1. Steep the tea: Boil the water in a saucepan, turn off the heat, and add both tea sachets. Let them steep for 90 seconds, then remove them.
2. Sweeten and warm: Stir in the honey until fully dissolved. Add the lemonade and warm the tea over low heat for about 1 minute.
3. Garnish and serve: Pour into a cup and garnish with fresh mint and a lemon slice if desired. Enjoy warm!

Recipe Tips:

• Use fresh lemonade for the best taste: Freshly squeezed lemonade makes the drink taste brighter and more refreshing than bottled lemonade.
• Don’t over-steep the tea: Steeping for too long can make the tea taste bitter. Stick to 90 seconds for the best flavor.
• Heat the lemonade gently: If the lemonade gets too hot, it can lose its fresh citrus flavor. Just warm it slightly to blend well with the tea.
• Dissolve the honey fully: Stir well until the honey is completely mixed in so that every sip is evenly sweet.
• Try different tea brands if needed: If you don’t have Teavana teas, use a mint green tea and a peach herbal tea for a similar taste.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: First, let the leftover tea cool to room temperature. Then, pour it into an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days.
• Reheat: Pour the tea into a saucepan and heat over low heat for about 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Do not let it boil, as this can change the taste.
