Want the flavor of delicious frappuccino without the caffeine? Need something lower-carb than some of the chain coffees?
Raspberry zinger tea from Celestial Seasonings gives pink precious beauty and flavor without the jitters.
Iced Raspberry Tea Frappuccino
4 ounces warm water
Raspberry tea bag
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 packet sweetener
1 Tbsp Davincis sugar free vanilla syrup, or 2 drops Stevia Sweetleaf vanilla liquid drops
1-1/2 cups crushed ice
Combine powdered sweetener, tea and water. Let steep for 5 minutes. Squeeze excess tea bag into water after removing to get the most of the flavor and color.
Crush ice in blender (or, better yet, use the crush setting on the icemaker). Combine all ingredients in blender and mix until frothy.
Top with whipping cream and chocolate syrup if desired (recipes follow).
Makes 1, approx 12 ounce frozen frappuccino.

Last night I made this and your Mint Frappuccino. I liked this one a little bit better. Both are great though. Thanks for another great drink idea.
I am so glad you tried both! I am a berry girl, too, but sometimes that mint is just invigorating enough to make it into my mouth (and on my shirt. I’m a spiller).
I made this with black cherry celestial seasonings as I didn’t have any raspberry. It is heavenly for breakfast.
