Ingredients
- Brewed Tea – choose your favorite tea such as oolong, green, black, or chamomile.

Tips
If you don’t have the time to brew your own tea, most boba tea shops will have their own pre-made mix that you can buy. You can also add nutritional or medicinal supplements, such as vitamin C or echinacea, to your medicine ball tea to enhance its health benefits. For a lighter flavor, try using green tea instead of black tea.
