Judi says to order a venti iced water and one short peach tranquility tea with an extra mint majesty tea bag. “Ask for some room at the top of the cup, I have mine half full.” She then says to order one Splenda on the side.
“Don’t make the baristas do this, do it yourself, it’s easy,” she says.
She says to wait three minutes for the tea to brew and then pour it into your water. “Flavored water has like no calories, no sweetener,” she says.
“You can also make it caffeinated with green tea or black tea,” she adds.
One viewer comments, “or just drink water,” sparking controversy in the comments. Another viewer says “I’m so confused because it’s just an iced tea?”
One says, “A watered down iced tea? Girl, BFFR.”
Judi responds saying, “True, it is iced tea lol, this one isn’t on the menu though.”
A supporter defends Judi saying, “It’s concentrated tea so it actually is stronger.”
Starbucks hacks frequently go viral on TikTok. In recent headlines, a Starbucks customer shared how to get two cold brew drinks for the price of one. Some viewers say they have been using this hack since 2012.
