But it's not regular almond milk, it's Starbucks' own recipe of "almondmilk."

“We created our own almondmilk recipe to complement our hot, iced and Frappuccino® blended beverages,” Starbucks R&D manager Yoke Wong said in the press release. “It was designed so that when steamed, it creates a rich foam for hot beverages and is delicious and creamy when served in cold beverages.”
According to Starbucks, spelling "almondmilk" as one word is intentional.
The press release explains: "Starbucks is following the latest industry approach by spelling non-dairy milk alternatives as one word, almondmilk, rather than two words."
So what's in this ~almondmilk~? For starters, way less sugar than their other non-dairy options.
