Can we make Medicine Ball tea without lemonade?

Absolutely. While lemonade contributes the characteristic tartness and sweetness to traditional Medicine Ball tea, you can substitute fresh lemon juice and water.

Does Medicine Ball tea actually help cure colds?

We need to be clear that no beverage can truly cure a cold or flu, as these viral illnesses must run their course. However, the Medicine Ball tea does provide several genuine benefits that may help you feel better and potentially recover slightly faster.

How much caffeine does homemade Medicine Ball tea contain?

The caffeine content depends entirely on which teas you use and how long you steep them. A standard serving made with one green tea bag typically contains 15 to 30 milligrams of caffeine, which is significantly less than coffee's 95 to 200 milligrams per serving.

Can we use bottled lemon juice instead of fresh lemonade?

While we prefer using quality prepared lemonade or freshly squeezed lemon juice, bottled lemon juice can work in a pinch.

Is Medicine Ball tea safe during pregnancy?

Pregnant women should always consult their healthcare providers before consuming any herbal products or teas.

Instructions

Combine water and lemonade in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a gentle simmer with small bubbles forming around the edges. Alternatively, combine in a large microwave-safe mug and microwave for 2-3 minutes until steaming hot.
Remove from heat and immediately add both tea bags to the hot liquid.
Cover the saucepan with a lid or cover the mug with a small plate. Steep for 3-5 minutes depending on desired strength.
Remove tea bags, gently pressing against the side of the vessel to extract liquid without squeezing aggressively. Discard tea bags.
Add honey to the hot tea and stir thoroughly until completely dissolved.
Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more honey one teaspoon at a time.
Pour into serving mug if prepared in a saucepan. Garnish with a fresh lemon slice and mint sprig if desired.
Serve immediately while hot for maximum comfort and soothing benefits.
