Chocolate Egg Cream

Chocolate Egg Cream

Makes 1 serving, 4 ounces of milk per serving

Ingredients

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


Directions

An egg cream is a frothy, indulgent drink that tastes similar to an ice cream soda.

In a small cup, mix together the cocoa and sugar. Add the water and stir well until a paste is formed. Put the milk in 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 two-toned, chocolate brown on the bottom with white foam on top. Serve with a pretzel rod.
