Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Chilled whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Vanilla syrup
- 1 cup Chilled seltzer water
Instructions
Chill a tall 12-ounce glass in the refrigerator to ensure your egg cream stays cold.
Pour 1 cup of chilled whole milk into the glass.
Add 2 tablespoons of vanilla syrup to the milk and stir vigorously with a long spoon until fully combined.
Slowly pour 1 cup of chilled seltzer water into the glass to create a foamy top. Pouring against the side of the glass will help control the foam.
Stir gently with a spoon to mix the seltzer water with the milk and syrup without deflating the foam.
Serve immediately with a straw to enjoy the bubbly, creamy vanilla flavor.
