According to numerous social media users, the viral “Medicine Ball” drink from Starbucks is an exceptionally comforting beverage during cold and flu season. The best time to drink a Medicine Ball is truly a matter of personal preference and need, as its soothing ingredients offer comfort whether you seek morning energy, midday relief, or evening relaxation.
