Chocolate Egg Cream
Makes 1
No eggs included, this classic drink is quick, refreshing, and delish no matter the occasion. Bonus: The homemade chocolate syrup is also a simple fix.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons your favorite chocolate syrup – homemade (see below) or store-bought
2 tablespoons milk (traditional), half and half, or cream (Passino’s favorite)
Seltzer water to fill the glass
Directions:
Mix chocolate syrup and milk, half and half, or cream in the bottom of a tall soda fountain glass. Add seltzer and a straw. Drink while the bubbles still tickle your nose.
Chocolate Syrup
Always handy to have around, chocolate syrup can be kept in the refrigerator for drinks, ice cream treats, or even stirred into your morning yogurt and bran cereal to, as Passino says, “take the edge off of all that healthiness.”
Ingredients:
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup hot water
Directions:
Mix cocoa and sugar in a small bowl or pyrex cup. Add half of the hot water and stir until the sugar and cocoa powder are dissolved. Add remaining water and stir until smooth. Keep in the refrigerator until needed.
