Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
• 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon boiling water
• 1/2 cup lowfat milk, very cold
• 1 1/2 cups seltzer water (not club soda)
• 1 pretzel rod

Preparation

Step 1

In a small cup, mix together the cocoa powder and sugar. Add the water and stir well until a paste is formed. Set aside.

Put the milk into a tall fountain glass. Slowly add the seltzer water. Stir gently. Drizzle the chocolate syrup in slowly, being careful to disturb the foam as little as possible. Stir gently with a tall spoon. Your drink should be 2-toned, chocolate-brown on the bottom with a white foam on top.

Serve with a pretzel rod.
