My love affair with Starbucks did not come in a whirlwind romance. It started shyly, slowly, testing the waters and sticking to what was tried-and-true. And I did find that love. But it was only for the Green Tea Latte. And the taste was mesmerizing. Through trial and error I slowly came up with a good homemade alternative. One that didn't require a branded drink mix.
Here is the final product.
Go slowly... you may just fall head over heels.

1 Cup vanilla yogurt
1/2 Cup vanilla ice cream
