Rochester Starbucks Has A Secret Drink To Order When You’re Sick

It's spring in Rochester, and not only are the birds and greenery starting to return, but so are those pesky seasonal allergies. It's definitely not a good feeling when you wake up with a cold - especially when you still need to go to work. And for those days when you really need a pick-me-up on your way to work, your local Starbucks has you covered.

According to Thrillist, the Medicine Ball, a.k.a. the "Cold Buster," is a secret drink that was allegedly invented by a former Starbucks barista. The funny thing? It doesn't even have any coffee! But it's supposedly an effective way to give your body a little boost if you're suffering from a sore throat or congestion. Here's the official recipe:

- Hot water
- Steamed lemonade
- One bag of Teavana's jade citrus mint tea
- Another bag of peach tranquility tea
- a packet of honey
- A pump of peppermint syrup (optional)

That actually looks pretty tasty. So the next time you wake up feeling like a microwaved baby diaper, don't forget about Starbucks' secret remedy!
