Coat the rim of a thick wineglass with the sugar and add the rum. Using a lighter, ignite the rum. Twirl the glass to caramelize the sugar, making sure you keep the glass upright, so that no burning liquid reaches the floor. When the sugar is caramelized, put the fire out by pouring tea into the glass, and add the amaretto, Grand Marnier, and crème de cocao.
