We've all been there one-too-many times - a great night, followed by a groggy, puffy and very…well, rounded morning. Still in the thick of festivities, if you're hoping to snugly jiggle into your glittering fit for the evening, Harvard-trained doctor, Dr. Saurabh Sethi has just the brekky options for you.
Unsweetened matcha latte
Ingredients: matcha powder (ceremonial grade preferred) - 1tsp, hot water - 1/3 cup, almond or oat milk - 1/2 cup
Method: Add the matcha powder to a small, flat-bottomed bowl and swirl with the matcha whisk to avoid clumping. Pour in the hot water and gently whisk in a W-shape to foam while your milk warms. Use a frother to foam the warmed almond or oat milk. Pour the matcha concoction into your cup followed by the milk.
A teaspoon of agave goes great with this though Dr. Sethi recommends having this unsweetened.
