Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup Seltzer water (cold)
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate syrup
Instructions
1. Begin by chilling a tall glass for a few minutes in the freezer to ensure your egg cream stays cold and refreshing.
2. Remove the glass from the freezer and pour the whole milk into it, filling about one-third of the glass (roughly 1 cup).
3. Add the chocolate syrup to the milk and stir vigorously with a spoon until fully combined. The mixture should be smooth and a rich chocolate color.
4. While stirring constantly, slowly pour the cold seltzer water into the chocolate milk mixture. The stirring will help create a bubbly froth on top of the drink.
5. Once the glass is filled and the froth has risen, give a gentle final stir to mix the layers underneath the foam, taking care not to disturb the frothy top.
6. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon and enjoy your authentic New York Egg Cream!
