Ingredients for this Starbucks golden yellow-orange colored drink!

Here are the Starbucks ingredients you will need to make this easy Starbucks lemonade green tea recipe. Make sure to scroll down to the recipe card for the full detailed ingredient measurements.

• Green tea bags– You can use whichever regular green tea you want but I decided to go with the Teavana Jade Citrus Mint Green Tea because it gave the closest drink the Starbucks one.
• Lemonade– You can use homemade lemonade or store-bought lemonade depending on what you have on hand or prefer.
• Peach juice– To keep it simple we are not using real peaches but instead using real peach juice to ensure that the drink tastes really good!
• Ice- It’s an iced drink so we will need some good ice, make sure that it isn’t that stale ice that has been sitting in the back of your fridge because that will easily ruin the flavor of your drink.

Substitutions

• Lite lemonade- You can use a low-calorie lemonade to keep the calories in your drink low (ish)
• Green tea- You fully transform this drink if you decide to use a different kind of tea, I know black tea would go so well with the flavor profiles of lemonade and peach juice. Just be aware that using black tea would increase the caffeine content of this iced beverage.
