  • Grind the espresso beans if you're not using pre-ground espresso. Empty the ground espresso into the basket of the coffeemaker. Put the water into the tank and have your machine ready to go.
  • In the bottom of the mug, put 1 tbsp of molasses. Then add the brown sugar and ground ginger. Mix together and set the spoon to the side on a clean surface. The spoon will have molasses and brown sugar stuck to it that you'll need later.
  • Brew your espresso. While the espresso is brewing, heat your half and half in a microwave safe measuring cup or dish in the microwave on high for 2 minutes.
  • When the espresso is done brewing, pour it into the mug. Mix the espresso and molasses mixture with the spoon you set aside earlier.
