What’s in the New Orange Drink?
Starbucks debuted Orange Drink a few years ago, but it re-introduced the new version that tastes even better! At Starbucks, the barista created this drink using black tea lemonade, peach tea, and soy milk. To make it at home, here are the ingredients you’ll need:
- Black Tea Bags: Any black tea will work, and I used English Breakfast.
- Lemonade: It adds an extra fruity flavor to the drink. You can buy it at your local grocery store or order online from Amazon.
- Peach Juice: Original Starbucks Orange Drink uses peach tea, but I find peach juice adds much sweeter and deeper fruity flavor, and produces that sweet candy flavor to the drink.
- Soy Milk: It adds a natural creaminess to your drink. You can also use coconut milk, almond milk or regular milk. I used unsweetened soy milk, but you can also use sweetened if you want your dink to be extra sweet.
How to Make an Orange Drink at Home
1. Prepare black tea. Pour hot water over the black tea bag.
2. Steep the tea for 3 minutes. Then let it chill in the refrigerator.
3. Add ice to a cocktail shaker, then pour in 1/4 cup of the chilled black tea. (If you don’t have a cocktail shaker, you can use any other large container with a lid that fits the container.)
4. Pour in lemonade and Peach Juice.
5. Pour in soy milk. Secure the lid. Hold the shaker with both hands (one on each piece) and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds.
6. Fill a glass 3/4 full of ice. Pour the mixture into the glass. Serve and enjoy immediately.
Important Tips
- Make sure to chill your tea until it’s cold before making the drink.
- The color of your drink may be slightly different than mine due to the color of your peach juice.
- Serve immediately after you make the drink, otherwise, it will start to separate into two layers.
