If you are feeling under the weather and craving the popular Starbucks drink often referred to as the “Medicine Ball,” you might be surprised to find that searching for that specific name on Uber Eats yields no results.

The Secret Name: Honey Citrus Mint Tea
The “Medicine Ball” is a social media nickname for a specific beverage that Starbucks baristas officially call the Honey Citrus Mint Tea. Because Starbucks does not use the term “Medicine Ball” in their official inventory or menu systems, you will not find it by searching for that name on any delivery app.
How to Order It via Uber Eats
Follow these simple steps to get your tea delivered:
- Open the Uber Eats app and select Starbucks from the list of available restaurants.
- Use the search bar at the top of the menu page.
- Type “Honey Citrus Mint Tea” into the search field.
- Select the item from the results. It will appear under the “Hot Teas” category.
- Customize your drink if needed. You can adjust the number of honey packets, the tea blend, or add extra peppermint syrup if that is how you prefer your specific version of the drink.
- Proceed to checkout as you would with any other order.
Why the Confusion?
The term “Medicine Ball” gained popularity years ago because the drink—a soothing blend of Jade Citrus Mint green tea, Peach Tranquility herbal tea, hot water, steamed lemonade, and honey—became a go-to remedy for customers feeling like they were coming down with a cold. While it is a fan-favorite, Starbucks baristas are trained to fulfill orders based on the official menu title. By searching for “Honey Citrus Mint Tea,” you ensure that the app correctly identifies the ingredients and sends the order to the store without confusion.
Now that you know the official name, you can enjoy your soothing tea delivered right to your door whenever you need a little comfort!
