{dairy free} iced vanilla latte

So, I love starbucks. It's a, go out of my way, even when the weather is bad and I'm low on gas, want it but don't need it, desperate kind of love. Perhaps a little codependent...and possibly a little unhealthy. There's something about that first sip of an iced grande soy latte that keeps me coming back. Since I'm not a huge fan of dairy, I get soy milk...but I know excess soy isn't a great thing either. So I tried my hand at a dairy/soy free version using almond milk. It turned out pretty tasty. Taste buds = happy. Wallet = happy.
