1
When I worked as a barista in a coffee shop years ago, one of the easiest drinks to make was a chai latte.
2
That's because we didn't have to worry about pulling a perfect espresso shot.
3
All you had to do was steam the milk
4
and then add some concentrate from a box that we had sitting on the counter.
5
That box could sit on the counter without being refrigerated for weeks because it had so much sugar in it.
6
Luckily, I figured out a way to make a chai latte at home
7
that tastes just as delicious as the coffee shop version and my recipe doesn't call for any refined sugar.
8
Here's what you'll need to make it.
9
Your favorite milk, a box of plain black tea bags, pure maple syrup for sweetness,
10
and a few pantry spices like ground cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and cloves.
11
To get started, boil some water and place two black tea bags in a measuring cup.
12
I like to prepare two servings at a time but you can cut this recipe in half if you need to.
13
Pour one cup of boiling water over these tea bags
14
and let them steep for a few minutes while you work on your chai latte mix.
15
In a small saucepan, combine one and a half cups of milk, one teaspoon of ground cinnamon, a half teaspoon of ground ginger,
16
and an eighth teaspoon each of cardamom and ground cloves.
17
Transfer this to the stove top over medium -high heat.
18
Then use a whisk to stir the spices into the milk as it starts to warm up.
19
As soon as you see the milk start to bubble around the edges of the pan like this, turn off the heat.
20
Now that the tea has had a chance to steep for a few minutes, remove the tea bags and pour the brewed tea into the sauce pan with the milk and spices.
21
For sweetness, add three tablespoons of maple syrup.
22
Give that a stir and carefully taste it to make sure you're happy with the flavor and the temperature.
23
You can let it simmer a few minutes longer
24
if you'd like it to be warmer and
25
if you want it to be spicier you can add another pinch of cloves or ginger.
26
Once you're happy with the flavor you're going to want to strain out some of those extra spices.
27
I'm going to arrange a fine mesh strainer like this over my silicone measuring cup
28
because this is going to make it easier to serve the chai latte into individual mugs.
29
I've learned over the years that i'm not great at pouring directly from my saucepan
30
so this is going to help me avoid a mess
31
this homemade chai latte tastes
32
so delicious i can't imagine getting a better one at a
33
coffee shop plus this is way cheaper to make at home now this step is optional
34
but i'm going to add a little foamed milk on top
35
to make it look like it came from a coffee shop
36
add a little cinnamon and it's ready to serve
37
if you don't plan on using both servings right away you can store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
38
This will separate overnight, but you can shake it the next day to make it look creamy again.
39
This can be reheated or served over ice for a chilled version.

什么是跟读法?
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
