EGG CREAM RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients. Place a 12-ounce serving glass in the freezer to chill. You want the glass to be ice cold before making and serving an egg cream.
• Pour the cold milk into the chilled glass.
• Pour the seltzer into the glass until the white head reaches the top of the glass.
• Spoon the syrup into the glass and stir to combine. Serve with a straw.

CLASSIC EGG CREAM

Steps:

• Pour the milk into a freezer-proof container and freeze until the milk begins to freeze a little, 40 minutes to 1 hour. It should not be frozen solid, but have milk ice floating on top and attached to the sides. The colder it is, the better your egg cream will come out.
• Spoon the chocolate syrup into the bottom of a tall 10-ounce glass. Pour in the milk (it should only come about halfway up to leave room for the seltzer). Slide a long spoon into the glass, and then bounce the spoon up and down and stir just slightly to agitate the chocolate syrup at the bottom of the glass. Pour in the seltzer water while continuing the bounce the spoon. This method combines the syrup and seltzer and creates the frothy milk on top. The more you bounce the more bubbles you'll get. This is the old school method, and how those fountain shops got that amazing froth on top. If it's not working for you - abandon ship and use an electric frother or a blender. It will still be delicious!
