Let’s set the scene.
It’s 4:17 p.m. The group chat’s quiet. The inbox has stopped attacking. You’re in your soft pants. You’re not in the mood for a snack-snack. But you are craving… something. Something chill. A little cozy. A little fancy. A little “I made this, and I deserve this.”
Enter: you, in your at-home-café era — with a frozen treat that feels like a hug wearing sunglasses.
This isn’t a sugar bomb. It’s not a secret 500-calorie milkshake. It’s a light, minty-chocolatey moment made from tea (yes, tea) — specifically our Red Rose Chocolate Mint Patty Herbal Tea — turned into frozen cubes and blended into something way cooler than it has any right to be.
Here’s how to whip up a Chocolate Mint Patty Frappe in under 10 minutes (minus freezing time — but your freezer’s doing the work, not you):
Ingredients:
-
1–2 bags of Red Rose Chocolate Mint Patty Herbal Tea
-
1 cup of milk (dairy, almond, oat — whatever vibes with you)
-
Ice cube tray + blender
-
Whipped cream
-
Chocolate shavings or chips (for flair)
Bonus Add-ins (if you’re feelin’ extra):
-
Protein powder
-
A splash of alcohol (hello, grown-up moment)
-
Cashews or almonds
-
Unsweetened cocoa powder
Step-By-Step Process:
-
Brew the tea strong — use 1 tea bag per 8 oz hot water, or double up if you like it bold.
-
Steep for 5–7 minutes. Let it cool (or forget about it for a bit, we’ve all been there).
-
Pour the cooled tea into an ice cube tray and freeze (overnight or a few hours).
-
Once frozen, add the tea cubes and milk to a blender and blend until creamy and dreamy.
-
Pour into your favorite glass. Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings if you feel like showing off.
