Many years ago, this delicious New York fountain drink was actually made with eggs, but it's been a long time since anyone's seen that version. If you are a serious egg cream lover, use a seltzer siphon to get the best foam.
Ingredients
1/2 cup chilled whole milk
Chilled seltzer
1/4 cup chocolate syrup
Directions
Special equipment: a long-handled spoon; a seltzer siphon (optional)
Pour milk into a 16-ounce glass and place spoon in glass. Pour seltzer (or squirt if using siphon) into glass to reach 1/2 inch below rim. (A snow-white foam will develop.) Pour syrup into center of white foam, then stir in syrup and remove spoon through center of foam.
