had it with 2 shots of syrup instead of the standard 3 ( I asked the barista how much they usually put in). She also confirmed that it’s plain syprup, not the melon, which is discontinued. I also got whipped cream b/c I like the texture it adds, but did cut down the amount. Shouldn’t have gotten the grande… maybe too much sugar? An hour later I have a stomach ache. Next time I’ll ask for only one shot. Or better yet, I’ll get real tea… This choice seemed like an indulgence at the time, but now seems more like masochism.
Real tea at SBUX (or or if you want indulgence go for one of the other frappuccinos or blended cremes)- either in plain tea or latte form and real tea at home- get some real matcha and make a smoothie exactly the way you want it:)
