Deli - Style Chocolate Egg Cream

1. 1

   Put a long-handled metal spoon into a very tall drinking glass.

2. 2

   Fill the glass with about a 1/4 full of ice cold milk.

3. 3

   Pour the seltzer water SLOWLY into the milk, leaving about 1 inch at the top of the glass.

4. 4

   If you've done this correctly, you should already see a nice creamy foam developing on top of the drink.

5. 5

   Use the long-handled spoon to stir and quickly blend the chocolate syrup with the milk and seltzer, doing your best NOT to disturb the foam at the top of the glass.

6. 6

   Stir until the chocolate is well blended into the drink.

7. 7

   After stirring, top the drink off with a little more seltzer, until the foam rises to the top of the glass, almost overflowing.

8. 8

   Remove the spoon and, there, you have it!

9. 9

   -- a delicious Chocolate Egg Cream with a beautiful white cap on top.
