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.

CHERRY-CHOCOLATE EGG CREAM

Steps:

• In a large, liquid measuring cup, combine the cherry syrup, condensed milk, cocoa powder and salt. Whisk to combine. Divide the mixture into 2 pint-sized drinking glasses. Working with one glass at a time, add half of the milk and stir with a long spoon. Mix vigorously and assertively as you pour the seltzer in, stopping when you're an inch from the top the glass. Continue stirring until you have a nice layer of foam. Repeat with the second egg cream. Garnish with Candied Cherries on a skewer balanced on the glass and drink immediately.
• In a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, add the cherries, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, cardamom, orange juice and 3 cups water. Cook until the sugars are dissolved and the syrup comes to a light boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally, for 45 minutes to an hour, until the syrup is thick and the cherries are a deep red. Remove from the heat and cool completely. Remove the cardamom pods and discard.
• Add the almond extract to the mixture and stir to combine. Transfer the cherries, with syrup, to a large glass jar (or several small) and seal with an airtight lid. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 year.

EGG CREAM

Steps:

• Pour the seltzer into the glass first or it may bubble out of the glass. Pour in milk and stir in chocolate syrup until dissolved.

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!

MOCHA EGG CREAM

CHOCOLATE EGG CREAM

Steps:

• I find using melted ice cream with milk and chocolate sauce adds extra flavor and richness to an egg cream. I drank these as a kid and really found them to be the perfect blend of sweet and bubbly. I come from a house where my father would keep the champagne for New Years in the freezer until we were ready to drink it. There were always little ice chips in it and I have really grown to love ice cold drinks of any kind. This recipe is no different. For me, all of the ingredients have to be very cold for optimum results.
• Pour the syrup into the bottom of a glass. Add the skim milk and stir to blend slightly. Add the seltzer.;
• In a small bowl, combine and whisk the cocoa powder, sugar, and salt with the water and vanilla extract. Transfer to a small saucepan and simmer over low heat until the ingredients meld together, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside to cool. Refrigerate. Use as needed.
