I grew up drinking this in the Bronx. Once you could get it at almost any corner soda fountain, now it's considered a relic.

SERVES 1 , 8 oz (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 tablespoons chocolate syrup (Ubet or Bosco to be authentic)
5 ounces milk
3 ounces seltzer water

Directions

1
Mix the chocolate syrup and milk together.
2
While stirring, add the seltzer and continue stirring.
3
For true Bronx authenticity, wipe your mouth with your sleeve afterwards.

Nothing beats a chocolate egg cream, except maybe with coffee syrup! Remember when the seltzer man came to the house with all the syrups and seltzer bottles! It was so cool to make them ourselves! Think I'll have to make these again! Here in the mid west it should be interesting! LOL Jelly

As a former New Yorker, this is a drink I remember from my childhood. I have tried to make this for years - even using similar ingredients and just couldn't get the proportions right. The ingredients and the measurements in this recipe produce the exact taste I remember from my favorite soda fountain treat. Thanks for restoring a childhood memory! This is delicious and very easy to make. If you cannot find U-Bet, then you could substitute Hershey's chocolate syrup- the kind that comes in a can, not a squeeze bottle (the squeeze bottle stuff is too thin).

Being a born, bred and never-gonna-leave Bronxite, I can vouch for this being the genuine article. And it rocks. DEFINITELY use Fox's U-bet chocolate syrup if you can get it. It comes in a round glass jar with a yellow label. Bosco is a great second choice, though it seems to get tougher to find in stores these days. See www.wikihow.com/Make-a-New-York-Egg-Cream on the correct method of making a truly authentic Egg Cream.
