We need to get a honey bear or something because these packets aren't it.

At my store we got a big thing of honey and have been filling a caramel bottle with it. So much easier.

Put the honey packets in a tall cup with hot water for a few seconds

We've been using agave and just ran out of agave today 🙏
lexifreda26 points1y ago

Kryrieonn10 points1y ago
Does your store have a ratio to pumps and cup size?

littleorphananney1 points1y ago
Yep we’ve been using it too luckily haven’t run out yet
rlblakey1772 points1y ago
We've ran out of both the honey syrup and packets and have started offering agave packets instead. Most people seem to like it!
Melodic-Sprinkles17710 points1y ago
ppl at my store actually started to request it instead of honey and now we are out of both TT

Item Availability go brrr
badatlife1534 points1y ago
We’ve been out of honey blend and honey packets for weeks, we’ve been out of agave for a couple days now. We were also out of jade citrus for a couple days.

It’s a placebo you don’t need honey
How-Inconvenient-22 points1y ago
Medicine ball is my what I get with some chicken noodle soup when sick, honey is required.

It’s so sweet it’s actually terrible for you if ur sick
badatlife154 points1y ago
Honest question, how is it being sweet bad for you for a cold? Like the only time I would avoid super sweet things would be if I had a stomach bug. But if I have a stomach thing I’m not drinking tea. Granted I don’t drink tea to begin with, but I’m trying to understand the logic behind what I understood to be reasons for drinking tea (warm, soothes an irritated throat) and why sweetness would matter

Harmful bacteria love sugar. They thrive when given a delicious simple food source. Terrible diet equals terrible gut which equals terrible immunity and a terrible mentally ill mind to go with it.

you could make your own version at home that isn’t horrible for your health. you can buy jade citrus mint and peach tranquility at the grocery store, brand is teavana. and make it with two tea bags (one of each kind), as much real honey as you’d like and a squeeze of lemon juice. 100x better for you than the starbucks version.
taebunz16 points1y ago
Yeah there's actually so much sugar in the teas, lemonade and the honey since the honey is the most processed honey i've ever seen in tea. Literally a sugar drink but it taste nice. But a little counter-intuitive if you have a cold

So we ran out of Jade Citrus and honey/agave for a week or so - customers were so insistent on this drink that they asked us to do all kinds of substitutions to make it work. DTO started to sound like this -
“I need a medicine ball.”
“Sorry, we’re out of the Jade Citrus and honey so we can’t really make that drink.”
“Well can’t you use something else.”
“Weeeeeellllll I mean some people have been ordering the peach tranquility with steamed lemonade and peppermint syrup but I really wouldn’t rec -“
“Okay yeah I’ll do that.”
*tries drink and asks for remake because it’s disgusting*
ThatOneTransGirl17 points1y ago
I’ve been at Starbucks for 2.5 months, worked at my main store and covered at 4 others. None of them have had honey sauce or packets since I’ve started. I’m starting to think the honey is just an urban legend lol. We’ve just been offering to use liquid cane instead.
bopbopcity14 points1y ago
For legal reasons you should never do this… but if you were to *hypothetically* pump classic into the cup instead of honey because ain’t nobody got time for honey packets…… nobody would ever notice lmao
mammoth_ofc11 points1y ago
Or liquid cane, say it’s a mahogany honey blend if they catch you
Starbucksprincess9912 points1y ago
We ran out of honey and agave too(:
demigirlhailee10 points1y ago
I'm at a licensed store in a grocery store so we just pull honey off the shelf 😎 but we did run out of peach tranquility for a bit, and subbed in peach juice. everyone seemed to like it fine.
I also covered at a store today, and was amazed to see a bottle of honey blend on the syrup shelf. then I noticed it had expired in July 🤢
Due_Ad_679310 points1y ago
We ran outta honey blend, Jade Citrus Mint, and Peach Tranquility.
Ended up making a few using honey packets, Mint Majesty, Emperors Cloud/Green Tea, and Peach Juice. Did tell the customers, they said it tasted fine. (Only offered to the ones who looked/sounded like they needed it, too much of a hassle otherwise.)
mammoth_ofc8 points1y ago
I just got 6 Venti of Medicine ball (aka honey citrus mint tea) on Sunday and they all wanted peppermint mint syup in addition to the honey blend 😵💫😵💫
badatlife157 points1y ago
Someone can correct me if mistaken, but from more senior partners I have heard this was the original recipe
youjustgottaignite5 points1y ago
I just make them without it tbh 🤷♀️
haven’t had one complaint since
iwmwsccbaecd1 points1y ago
same i don’t have time to put in all those honey packets
agntr3d5 points1y ago
We’ve been out of honey blend, honey, and agave. It’s rough
xj3768774 points1y ago
They’d be getting no honey if that was me lol
Vincent_Cromwell273 points1y ago
Fun fact: the original medicine ball before it was put on the menu was made with classic:)
sero50743 points1y ago
We haven’t had honey blend for over a year. We’ve been using honey packets, now we’re out of honey packets, so we’re using agave. Then we’ll be out of agave 😭
Yosellllin2 points1y ago
We have not had honey blend in months ! We’ve been cutting the packets and putting the honey or agave.
iqueefkief2 points1y ago
we don’t even have honey packets
pRaIsE bE that we still have agave 🙃
JHOOOOBI2 points1y ago
Gotta go the old fashioned honey packets route.
[deleted]1 points1y ago
This is one of my favorite teas I can never not get honey. If you want less at least one pack.
xBig_Birdx1 points1y ago
We don't have honey blend either so we've just been making it the old way. 2 packets of honey instead of HB pumps
Hot-Froyo1 points1y ago
Literally got 4 orders of these exactly 1 minute before close. Sometimes we use agave instead of honey but for this particular person, nothing. :)

mcasper961 points1y ago
We're out of both the honey blend and the jade citrus mint so that's fun
