Brûléed Cappuccino

By SMSchreiber

A handheld culinary torch has a multitude of uses besides the traditional one of caramelizing sugar on crème brûlée. Here, we create an over-the-top cappuccino by caramelizing the foam just before serving.

Ingredients

• Ingredients:
• 1 * 1 shot espresso
• 1/4 * 1/4 cup steamed milk
• * Superfine sugar as needed

Preparation

Step 1

Directions:
Place a cappuccino cup under an espresso drip and draw the espresso directly into the cup. Pour in the steamed milk, reserving the froth. Spoon a heaping spoonful of froth on top.

Lightly sprinkle superfine sugar over the top of the foam. Using a culinary torch according to the manufacturer's instructions, move the flame continuously in small circles over the surface until the foam is caramelized. Serve immediately. Serves 1.
