Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml / 1.5 fl oz) milk (nondairy or regular)
  • 2 teaspoons (10 ml / 0.3 fl oz) cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon erythritol, or 2 drops liquid stevia
  • 12 ounces (355 ml / 12 fl oz) sparkling water, chilled
  • & Variations
  • For a perfectly smooth, clump-free drink, create a chocolate syrup first. Whisk the cocoa powder, sweetener, and milk together vigorously before adding any sparkling water.
  • Use extra-cold . The colder your milk and sparkling water, the fizzier and more refreshing your egg cream will be.
  • The slow pour is non-negotiable. Pour the sparkling water down the side of a tilted glass to control the foam and prevent a messy overflow.
  • Make it Dairy-Free/Vegan: Use any nondairy milk like almond, macadamia, or lite coconut milk.
  • Make it Nut-Free: Use coconut milk, soy milk, or regular dairy milk.

Method
 

  1. In a tall glass (16 oz / 475 ml or larger), combine the milk, cocoa powder, and your choice of sweetener. Use a fork or a small whisk to mix vigorously until a smooth, clump-free chocolate syrup forms. 2. Tilt the glass and pour the chilled sparkling water in very slowly, aiming for the side of the glass to minimize fizz-over. The mixture will foam up to create a beautiful head.
  2. Do not stir!
  3. Serve immediately for the best fizzy experience.
