    Until you get up to speed like Jamie here, it’s best to practice over a sink.  I’ve been lucky to not spill liquid fire all over the place, but I know a few who have.  smile

    In the video, you use a cappuccino wand to steam the drink before setting it alight. Would using a cappuccino frother as you do with egg drinks have a similar effect because of the air, and therefore oxygen, indroduced, or does the heat/steam play a special role?
