Of all the old-timey drinks I’ve come across, the egg cream conjures up the most delightful notions—most of which are incorrect. For example, an egg cream contains neither egg nor cream. It’s just three ingredients: milk, chocolate flavored syrup, and seltzer. These easy-to-find ingredients create a drink that’s greater than the sum of its parts.

Ingredients
●1/3 cup whole milk
●2 tablespoons chocolate syrup, plus more to taste
●1/2 cup seltzer
Method
1.Combine the milk and chocolate syrup:
In a tall glass, like a 12-ounce Collins glass, add the milk and chocolate syrup. Stir until the chocolate syrup is fully dissolved. A classic egg cream does not have a strong chocolate flavor, like chocolate milk or a chocolate milkshake. If you want more chocolate, add more!
2.Pour in the seltzer and serve:
Open a fresh can of seltzer—you want it to be super bubbly—and pour it into the glass over the back of a large spoon. Stir the drink vigorously until a foamy head forms on top. You can also use seltzer from a siphon. Enjoy immediately!
