Ingredients
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup seltzer water
- 2 tablespoons Fox’s U-Bet chocolate syrup
Instructions
- Pour the milk: Begin by pouring 1/4 cup of whole milk into a tall egg cream glass to form the creamy base of the drink.
- Add the seltzer: Slowly add 3/4 cup of seltzer water to the glass until a frothy layer forms on top, giving the egg cream its signature bubbly texture.
- Incorporate the chocolate syrup: Pour 2 tablespoons of Fox’s U-Bet chocolate syrup into the center of the glass carefully.
- Mix gently with a spoon: Using the back of a spoon, gently push it into the center of the glass and rock it back and forth at the bottom. This technique mixes the syrup without disturbing the frothy top layer.
- Serve immediately: The egg cream is best enjoyed right away to appreciate its fresh fizz and creamy froth.
Notes
- Use whole milk for authentic creaminess, but low-fat milk can be substituted if preferred.
- Classic egg creams never contain eggs, despite the name.
- Use seltzer water rather than club soda for the best bubbly texture without extra flavoring.
- Adding the syrup last and mixing gently preserves the signature frothy top.
- Serve in a tall glass to showcase the froth and layers.
