The Real Egg Cream
Cook time: 
Total time: 
Serves: 1 egg cream
 
It was hard to put measurements on this recipe since when I make it I go by inches, not ounces! Put ½ inch of syrup, 1 inch of milk, the rest seltzer or carbonated water. And most important, get out your spoon and stir as you pour the seltzer... that's how you'll get the white foam on top that signifies the real deal!
Ingredients
  • 4 tablespoons U-Bet chocolate syrup
  • ¼ cup milk (whole milk best)
  • 8 ounces seltzer (club soda, sparkling water -- hmm, ok)
Instructions
  1. In a tall glass (12 ounces), pour your chocolate syrup on the bottom. PAY NO ATTENTION TO PEOPLE WHO SAY TO PUT THIS IN LAST... NO NO NO! FUHGEDABOUDIT!
  2. Add the milk and stir, then continue stirring briskly as you add the seltzer.
  3. You should see a lovely foam appear on the top (kind of like the head of a beer!).
  4. Best enjoyed through a straw, but gulping is good too!
