I love matcha, but have never tried the Starbucks frappuccino. This is so easy to make at home, though, that I think I'll definitely skip the line and make your (dairy-free) version instead!

This sounds great. And given the price Starbucks charges for drinks like this, I appreciate a good make at home version.
