How to Make Onion Caramelized Cappuccino

**Make the Coffee-Infused Milk:** In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of whole milk to a gentle boil. Remove from heat, stir in 1 cup of freshly brewed strong coffee, cover, and let steep for 10 minutes.
**Strain the Milk:** Line a fine-mesh strainer with 2 layers of cheesecloth. Carefully pour the coffee-infused milk through the strainer into a clean bowl. Set aside.
**Caramelize the Onions:** In a large saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over low heat. Add 2 large thinly sliced yellow onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized and almost pureed (approximately 20-30 minutes).
**Thicken the Onion Mixture:** Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the caramelized onions. Stir well to combine and cook for 1 minute.
**Combine with Milk:** Gradually whisk in the strained coffee-infused milk. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until thickened slightly.
**Blend for Creamy Texture:** Carefully transfer the onion mixture to a blender and blend until completely smooth and creamy.
**Season:** Season the onion cream with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.
**Froth the Milk:** In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of whole milk with 1 teaspoon of sesame oil over medium heat until just steaming. Do not boil.
**Create the Froth:** Use a hand mixer to froth the milk until light and airy.
**Assemble the Cappuccino:** Pour the warm onion cream into 12 espresso cups.
**Garnish:** Top each serving with a dollop of the frothed sesame milk. Add a fresh crack of black pepper, if desired.
