- 1 cup milk
- Sparkling seltzer water
- About 2 tablespoons Fox's
U-Bet Chocolate-Flavored Syrup*
- To concoct an authentic
Brooklyn Egg Cream, pour milk into a glass. Add sparkling seltzer
water until a white head reaches the top of the glass. Spoon
in about 2 tablespoons of syrup with a little wrist action. Voila!
Makes 1 serving.
* According to New York
City-born actor, director, and comic genius, Mel Brooks, an admitted
Egg Cream cultist, "You got to get Fox's U-Bet Syrup. If
you use any other syrup the egg cream will be too bitter or too
mild."
