New York Egg Cream

By CarolM-2

Ingredients

• approximately 1/2 cup cold milk--whole skim or 1% won't foam as well
• 1 cup bottled seltzer
• 2 tbsp. chocolate syrup

Preparation

Step 1

Pour 1/2 inch of cold milk into a tall soda glass. Add seltzer or club soda to wihin 1 inch of the top of the glass. Stir vigorously with a long spoon.
Very gently pour 2 tbsp. of chocolate syrup slowly down the inside of the glass. Briskly stir with a long spoon only at the bottom of the glass, where the chocolate sits. The resulting drink should have a dark brown bottom and a 1 inch high pure white foam top.
Do not let the prepared egg cream sit for more than 5 minutes, as it will go flat.
