Lupa’s favorite order in the Where Stars Cascade Down Drink Making activity is Olive Iced Tea. Match the flavor request she gives you to one of three versions: moderate, bitter, or sweet. The standard moderate recipe is Light Iced Tea + Medium Olive Juice, Sour Plum Cubes + Lemon Peel, and an Orange Slice topping. Bitter and sweet requests change the base strengths and one of the add-ins or toppings. The activity is part of the limited-time Version 3.1 event, so check the in-game event list and the official Wuthering Waves news index for availability rather than assuming it is still active.
What is Lupa’s Olive Iced Tea recipe?
Olive Iced Tea is not one fixed combination in the Drink Making activity. Lupa’s requested taste determines the intensities of the tea and olive-juice bases, the flavor ingredients, and the topping. Use the table below as the main answer, then verify the satisfaction feedback before serving. The recipe labels are in-game intensity choices, so Light, Medium, and Extra should be selected exactly as shown rather than treated as approximate amounts.
| Lupa’s request | Tea base | Olive-juice base | Add-ins | Topping | Flavor cues |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Moderate Olive Iced Tea | Iced Tea (Light) | Olive Juice (Medium) | Sour Plum Cubes and Lemon Peel | Orange Slice | Moderately sour and moderately sweet |
| Bitter Olive Iced Tea | Iced Tea (Light) | Olive Juice (Light) | Sour Plum Cubes and Lemon Peel | Lemongrass | Quite sour, less sweet, and slightly bitter |
| Sweet Olive Iced Tea | Iced Tea (Extra) | Olive Juice (Extra) | Sour Plum Cubes and Viscum Berry Bits | Lemongrass | Less sour and quite sweet |
This three-variant table comes from Game8’s Drink Making (Bartending) Guide, updated February 15, 2026. The recipe names and flavor descriptions are guide-reported instructions for the minigame, not a real-world beverage formula.
How do I make the moderate Olive Iced Tea?
For the ordinary moderate request, select Light Iced Tea and Medium Olive Juice, add Sour Plum Cubes and Lemon Peel, choose an Orange Slice topping, and serve after checking the gauge. This is the balanced configuration in the published table: the tea remains Light, while the olive-juice base is raised to Medium.
- Read Lupa’s order and confirm that the cues indicate moderate sourness and moderate sweetness.
- Set the first base to Iced Tea (Light).
- Set the second base to Olive Juice (Medium).
- Add Sour Plum Cubes.
- Add Lemon Peel.
- Select Orange Slice as the topping.
- Review the satisfaction response. If the preparation is not matching the request, go back through the earlier selections before serving.
A separate video guide describes the same citrus-focused moderate drink but lists a different olive-juice amount: Extra rather than Medium. Because that source conflicts with the structured recipe table, use Medium as the primary setting and treat the in-game request and satisfaction gauge as the final check. The discrepancy is documented in the video guide published February 15, 2026; do not assume its alternate quantity will produce the same result in every version.
Moderate recipe checklist
Before serving, the moderate order should read as a six-part configuration: Light tea, Medium olive juice, Sour Plum Cubes, Lemon Peel, Orange Slice, and the moderate flavor wording. If one item is wrong, compare the interface line by line instead of changing several controls at once. That makes it easier to identify whether the issue is the disputed olive-juice intensity or a missed add-in or topping.
How do I make the bitter Olive Iced Tea?
Choose the bitter version when Lupa asks for a drink that is quite sour, less sweet, and slightly bitter. Keep the tea light, reduce the olive juice to Light, retain the sour plum and lemon, and replace the moderate topping with Lemongrass. The bitter recipe therefore changes the olive-juice intensity and the topping while leaving the tea and the first two flavor ingredients in place.
- Confirm the order cues point to high sourness, lower sweetness, and a bitter edge.
- Select Iced Tea (Light).
- Select Olive Juice (Light).
- Add Sour Plum Cubes.
- Add Lemon Peel.
- Use Lemongrass for the topping.
- Watch the satisfaction feedback and revise a selection if the gauge indicates the taste is off before you serve.
The bitter recipe is also independently listed in the video guide, including Light Iced Tea, Light Olive Juice, the citrus add-ins, and Lemongrass. That cross-check supports the topping change as an important distinction: using Orange Slice instead can move the drink away from the requested bitter profile.
What changes from moderate to bitter?
There are two deliberate changes. First, Olive Juice moves from Medium to Light. Second, Orange Slice is replaced by Lemongrass. Sour Plum Cubes, Lemon Peel, and Light Iced Tea remain the same. If your order says “quite sour” but you left Olive Juice at Medium, or if you used the orange topping, those are the first controls to revisit.
How do I make the sweet Olive Iced Tea?
For a sweet request, raise both base intensities to Extra, use Viscum Berry Bits instead of Lemon Peel, and finish with Lemongrass. The resulting combination is designed for less sourness and pronounced sweetness. Unlike the other two variants, the sweet recipe changes both base settings and the second add-in.
- Confirm that Lupa’s wording indicates she wants less sourness and a quite sweet drink.
- Set the tea base to Iced Tea (Extra).
- Set the olive-juice base to Olive Juice (Extra).
- Add Sour Plum Cubes.
- Add Viscum Berry Bits.
- Select Lemongrass as the topping.
- Check the satisfaction response, then correct the preparation before serving if the feedback does not fit the sweet request.
The sweet order is the only listed variant that uses Viscum Berry Bits. That ingredient change, together with Extra strength for both bases, is what separates it from the moderate and bitter versions. Do not carry Lemon Peel over from the citrus recipes, even though Sour Plum Cubes remains required.
Sweet recipe checklist
Confirm all four distinctive choices: Extra Iced Tea, Extra Olive Juice, Viscum Berry Bits, and Lemongrass. Then check that Sour Plum Cubes is still present. A sweet order is not made by simply increasing one base; both bases must be Extra according to the published combination.
What is the correct order of actions in the Drink Making minigame?
Game8’s guide describes a repeatable workflow: listen to the order, configure the bases, add the requested flavor ingredients, select a topping, and serve. The interface provides satisfaction feedback during preparation, and you can return to earlier choices before finalizing the drink. The following sequence keeps the variant differences visible and gives you a chance to correct mistakes.
1. Read the flavor language, not just the drink name
Lupa’s name for the drink remains Olive Iced Tea, but the adjectives determine the variant. “Moderately sour and moderately sweet” points to the Medium olive-juice recipe; “quite sour” and “slightly bitter” point to the Light olive-juice recipe; “less sour” and “quite sweet” point to the Extra/Extra recipe with Viscum Berry Bits. The drink name alone cannot tell you which topping or second add-in to use.
2. Set both base intensities before adding flavors
Each base has a Light, Medium, or Extra setting. Do not treat the strength labels as interchangeable: the tea and olive-juice selections are separate controls, and the sweet and bitter recipes deliberately move them in different directions from the moderate version. Check both base fields before moving on.
3. Add every named ingredient
The add-ins are part of the requested profile rather than optional decoration. Moderate and bitter drinks use Sour Plum Cubes plus Lemon Peel; the sweet drink swaps Lemon Peel for Viscum Berry Bits. Leaving out an ingredient or carrying the wrong second add-in into the next variant can change the preparation even when the bases are correct.
4. Choose the topping last
Orange Slice belongs to the moderate order. Lemongrass belongs to both the bitter and sweet versions. If the topping list is the final screen you reach, use it as a last-minute check against Lupa’s wording before serving. This is also the easiest place to catch the common mistake of using Orange Slice on a bitter or sweet order.
5. Use the satisfaction gauge as an in-game validation
The third-party guide reports that the gauge responds during preparation and that earlier steps can be redone. This is more reliable than trying to infer an undisclosed flavor formula. If the gauge does not improve, revisit the intensity or the ingredient that differs between the variants instead of serving immediately. The gauge is a practical check for your current event build, not a published guarantee of a particular grade.
6. Serve only after the final comparison
Before pressing the serve option, compare the active order with the matching row in the table. Verify the flavor wording, both base intensities, both add-ins, and the topping. If the interface still permits editing, correct the selection first; once served, you may need to restart the preparation rather than adjust the completed drink.
Why are there different Olive Juice amounts for the moderate recipe?
Two secondary sources do not agree on the moderate drink’s olive-juice intensity. Game8’s complete recipe table says Medium Olive Juice; the video description says Extra Olive Juice while otherwise describing the same citrus add-ins. The evidence does not establish which setting is intended for every game build.
Use Game8’s Medium setting as the default because it is presented in a full three-variant table, then compare the result with Lupa’s satisfaction feedback. If your current event build continues to reject that preparation, record the exact order wording and test Extra only as a troubleshooting change. Do not silently combine the two guides or treat either third-party source as an official recipe statement.
How to troubleshoot the discrepancy
- Recreate the full moderate row with Light Iced Tea, Medium Olive Juice, Sour Plum Cubes, Lemon Peel, and Orange Slice.
- Check the satisfaction response before serving.
- If the response remains unfavorable and every other choice matches, retry the same order once to rule out a selection error.
- Only then test Extra Olive Juice while leaving the other moderate choices unchanged.
- Use the active order text and the gauge to decide which setting fits your build; do not assume the alternate video amount is universal.
This controlled approach prevents the unresolved Medium-versus-Extra difference from being confused with a missing topping or an incorrect add-in.
Is the Where Stars Cascade Down Drink Making activity still available?
The official Kuro Games news index identifies Where Stars Cascade Down as a limited-time event and lists Version 3.1 notices, but the available notice page does not establish the event’s end date or confirm that Drink Making is active on a particular day. Before looking for the activity, open the in-game event menu and check the current notices. You can also consult the official news page for dated announcements.
This guide therefore applies to the Version 3.1 event implementation. It should not be read as a promise that the activity remains accessible after the limited-time window closes, nor as confirmation that every later game version uses identical interface labels. If the event is absent, verify the account’s current event list before assuming the recipe or the activity has changed.
What should I do if Lupa is not satisfied?
First, stop before serving if the interface still allows editing. Compare the order’s adjectives with the three profiles, then check the base strengths, the second add-in, and the topping in that order. Most errors can be isolated by checking the controls that distinguish one row from another.
- If the order is moderate, verify Medium Olive Juice and Orange Slice.
- If it is bitter, verify Light Olive Juice and Lemongrass.
- If it is sweet, verify Extra Iced Tea, Extra Olive Juice, Viscum Berry Bits, and Lemongrass.
- For every variant, confirm that Sour Plum Cubes was added.
- For moderate and bitter orders, confirm Lemon Peel; for sweet orders, confirm Viscum Berry Bits instead.
- If all selections match but the gauge remains unfavorable, retry the preparation rather than relying on a claimed guaranteed result; the guides do not establish hidden flavor arithmetic or a guaranteed satisfaction grade.
Because the moderate amount is disputed between guides, that setting is the first one to investigate if the rest of the recipe is correct. Use the in-game feedback to decide whether an alternate amount is appropriate for your build.
Common mistakes to avoid
Using the drink name as the whole instruction: Olive Iced Tea has three documented configurations, so wait for the flavor wording. Changing only the topping: bitter and sweet orders also have different base or add-in requirements. Forgetting Sour Plum Cubes: it appears in all three listed combinations. Using Lemon Peel for sweet: the sweet row calls for Viscum Berry Bits. Assuming Extra is always better: the bitter row specifically uses Light Olive Juice, while the moderate row is listed as Medium. Serving without checking: the guide reports that earlier steps can be redone, so use that opportunity before finalizing.
Which Olive Iced Tea version should I choose?
You do not choose based on a preferred flavor in advance. Select the version that matches the wording of Lupa’s active order. The comparison below shows the meaningful changes at a glance.
| When Lupa asks for… | Change from the moderate recipe | Distinctive check |
|---|---|---|
| Moderate sourness and sweetness | Use Medium Olive Juice and Orange Slice. | Light tea, citrus add-ins, Orange Slice. |
| Quite sour, less sweet, slightly bitter | Lower Olive Juice to Light and switch topping to Lemongrass. | Light tea and Light olive juice. |
| Less sour, quite sweet | Raise both bases to Extra and replace Lemon Peel with Viscum Berry Bits. | Extra tea, Extra olive juice, Lemongrass. |
The order’s descriptive cues are the decision rule. There is no separate real-world ingredient purchase or outside calculation required to complete this virtual activity. You only need to identify the requested profile and reproduce the corresponding row in the minigame.
Can the recipes be prepared in a different order?
The guides describe the flow as listening to the request, selecting the bases, adding flavor ingredients, choosing a topping, and serving. Follow that sequence when possible because it mirrors the interface walkthrough and makes each choice easier to audit. The important requirement is that every final selection matches the requested row before serving. If the interface lets you return to an earlier step, use that function instead of accepting a mismatched combination.
Do the recipes guarantee a Very Satisfied result?
No universal guarantee is established. A related third-party question uses the phrase “Very Satisfied,” but the published guides do not establish a hidden numerical formula or a result that occurs every time across versions. Match the live order, watch the satisfaction gauge, and correct the preparation before serving. If the moderate order still behaves differently, test the documented Medium-versus-Extra olive-juice discrepancy rather than assuming a guaranteed grade.
What do the available guides establish—and what do they not establish?
Game8 provides the most complete published walkthrough for the three variants and the preparation flow. The video guide independently supports the bitter combination and describes the moderate drink, while Nerd’s Chalk provides another secondary presentation of the recipe. None of these sources is an official Kuro Games recipe document.
They also do not establish a universal “Very Satisfied every time” result, a hidden numerical flavor equation, or reward quantities that apply regardless of version. Treat those claims cautiously and rely on the live order text and satisfaction gauge. The official notice index confirms the event’s limited-time status but does not supply the recipe itself.
Quick reference before you serve
Use this final checklist whenever Lupa’s order appears:
- Identify whether the request is moderate, bitter, or sweet from its flavor adjectives.
- Choose the correct tea intensity.
- Choose the correct olive-juice intensity.
- Add Sour Plum Cubes.
- Add Lemon Peel for moderate or bitter, or Viscum Berry Bits for sweet.
- Top with Orange Slice for moderate, or Lemongrass for bitter and sweet.
- Read the satisfaction feedback and revise any mismatch before serving.
For the usual moderate order, that checklist resolves to Light Iced Tea, Medium Olive Juice, Sour Plum Cubes, Lemon Peel, and Orange Slice. Keep the bitter and sweet rows nearby because Lupa’s wording, not the drink name alone, determines which configuration is correct.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make Olive Iced Tea before Lupa gives the order?
The activity is driven by the customer’s active request, so wait for Lupa’s flavor wording before locking in a variant. The drink name alone is insufficient because Olive Iced Tea has three documented configurations.
Does the topping affect the result or is it cosmetic?
The guides assign Orange Slice to the moderate version and Lemongrass to the bitter and sweet versions. Since the topping is part of each published combination, treat it as a recipe selection rather than optional decoration.
Where can I verify whether Version 3.1 events are open on my account?
Check the in-game Events screen first, then compare it with dated notices on Kuro Games’ official news page. The public index identifies the event as limited-time but does not itself provide a universal active-through date.
What if my menu uses different labels from the guide?
Match the labels by relative intensity—Light, Medium, or Extra—and follow the flavor request shown by the current interface. If the moderate order behaves differently, the documented Medium-versus-Extra discrepancy is the first variation to test.
Which recipe uses Viscum Berry Bits?
Only the sweet Olive Iced Tea row uses Viscum Berry Bits. It also requires Extra Iced Tea, Extra Olive Juice, Sour Plum Cubes, and Lemongrass.
Which recipe uses Orange Slice?
Orange Slice is assigned to the moderate Olive Iced Tea. Bitter and sweet versions use Lemongrass instead.
Do all three versions use Sour Plum Cubes?
Yes. Sour Plum Cubes appears in the moderate, bitter, and sweet combinations. The second add-in changes: Lemon Peel is used for moderate and bitter, while Viscum Berry Bits is used for sweet.
What is the fastest way to fix an unsatisfied order?
Do not serve immediately. Compare the flavor wording with the table, then check both base intensities, the second add-in, and the topping. Use the satisfaction feedback and redo earlier steps if the interface allows it.
Should I use Extra Olive Juice for the moderate order?
Use Medium Olive Juice as the default because Game8’s complete table lists Medium. A separate February 15, 2026 video description lists Extra, so test Extra only if the in-game gauge rejects an otherwise correct moderate preparation.
Are rewards or satisfaction grades guaranteed by these recipes?
The guides do not establish universal reward quantities, hidden flavor arithmetic, or a guaranteed “Very Satisfied” result for every version. Follow the active order and the live satisfaction feedback.
Is this a real-world iced tea recipe?
No. These are ingredient and intensity selections for Wuthering Waves’ virtual Drink Making activity, not instructions for preparing a physical beverage.
What if the event no longer appears?
Where Stars Cascade Down is identified as a limited-time event. Check the in-game event list and Kuro Games’ dated notices; the public notice index does not provide a universal end date for the activity.
The Bottom Line
Bottom line: Match Lupa’s flavor wording, not just the Olive Iced Tea name. Moderate uses Light Iced Tea, Medium Olive Juice, Sour Plum Cubes, Lemon Peel, and Orange Slice; bitter lowers Olive Juice to Light and uses Lemongrass; sweet raises both bases to Extra, swaps in Viscum Berry Bits, and also uses Lemongrass. Check the satisfaction gauge before serving, especially for the moderate recipe’s documented Medium-versus-Extra discrepancy.
