In an effort to satisfy my hot-beverage craving and cut out even my decaf coffees (splendas and heavy cream do add up carb & calorie-wise!), I had initially tried hot Crystal Light lemonade. This is wonderful tasting, but I started getting fierce, dizzying headaches from it. 
I have since then cut out aspartame in almost every form (especially hot), but still had not found a good coffee/tea substitute.
Well, in a moment of desperation (freeeeeezing cold office all the time), I made my 4C Morning Orange (splenda sweetened) with hot water. It's not too shabby. Doesn't taste quite as good as the hot CL lemonade, but doesn't make my head feel like it's splitting open either. I believe that Splenda is safe for heating, so for those of you who need a hot beverage on a rainy day (or in an ultra air conditioned office), it's worth a try.
