Espresso Ginger Cookies Recipe

I normally can’t do coffee in these situations, so nibbling on an espresso ginger cookie is good. Ginger in any form settles the stomach and relieves nausea. I would imagine it best to chew on fresh ginger. This, however, isn’t very pleasant so grate a piece into hot water and drink it. You could also add a bit of ginger to your favourite freshly-squeezed morning fruit/vegetable drink. It’s so simple really!
