Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Seltzer water
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate syrup
Instructions
Chill a tall glass in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes to ensure your drink stays cold.
Pour the whole milk into the chilled glass, filling it about halfway.
Slowly add the seltzer water to the milk, pouring gently down the side of the glass to maintain a fizzy texture. The liquid should bubble and froth as you pour.
Drizzle the chocolate syrup over the milk and seltzer mixture.
Use a long spoon to stir the drink vigorously, combining the ingredients until you achieve a foamy, creamy top with a rich chocolate flavor throughout.
Serve immediately with a straw or enjoy straight from the glass.
