A refeshing drink: Chocolate Egg Cream

Hello!!!!! Its been awhile since i did a tutorial. Today we are doing a chocolate egg cream. Something i find very interesting and cool. Why is it so? its because the name of the drink is egg cream, but there is no egg and no cream in it. hahas seriously. Ok so this is a new york classic drink that originate in in the late 19 century, so yea quite a long history of more then 100 years. It taste refreshing and nice, not too sweet which I find it quite good, but the flavor can be altered as you wish. Ok first when i see how it is made, the 1st thing that comes to my mind is, "this thing drink liao will lau sai 1" seriously, but after i taste it, its refreshing, the sugar content from the chocolate gives a good amount of energy and also helps in keeping you awake. It is also said that there have been many attempt to bottle this drink but non succeed as it has to be made on the spot and drink, for the freshness in taste. Pretty cool drink actually, and I dun think we get to drink it in singapore, so far I didnt find any restaurant that serve this, or maybe there is, I dunno. hahaha

Ok lets get into the ingredients, first we have chocolate syrup, i use the hersheys 1, but any chocolate syrup will do.

Then we have soda water, any club soda or soda water will do, and milk. 3 simple ingredients :DDD

Chocolate syrup - 1 oz or 30ml
milk - 1 oz or 30 ml
club soda - 8 oz or 240ml

Thats all!! simple too right haha
Step 1: take a tall glass, or for me i use this, pour in the chocolate syrup, 1 oz
Step 2: pour in the milk, 1 oz
Step 3: stir them well
Step 4: add in about 1/3 of the club soda 1st, and stir well
Then slowly add in the rest of the club soda and stir at the same time, and tada you will get something like this.

Simple, easy, delicious and refreshing drink, especially if you miss a meal, get something sweet like this to drink, it helps to give energy. And the content of chocolate and milk and be alter as you like, if you want it to be more milky, add more milk, want more chocolaty, add mote chocolate.
Enjoy!! Hope you all like it :D
