Egg Cream

Ingredients:
Milk
Chocolate syrup
Seltzer or club soda, very cold

Directions:
Start by putting about 1 to 1-1/2" milk in a tall glass. Add about the same amount of chocolate syrup. Add the seltzer and mix vigorously until the ingredients are combine. If you've done it correctly, there will be about 2" of white 'cream' at the top of the glass.

Best Chocolate syrup to use is Fox's U Bet syrup.
May in Jersey who had lots of egg creams growing up in Brooklyn.

Ditto, except I didn't grow up in Jersey. I wish I could buy Fox's U Bet no one even sells it on line.

someone is selling it on Ebay but it will set you back $11. for one bottle.

maybe someone on the board in NY can start a side business selling it!

What? That's kind of high. Last time I bought it is was about $4 a bottle. I'm going food shopping later and will take a look for it. May in Jersey

Well, I was bawn and raised on Lawnngggg I-lynddddddd and tasted a few egg creams as well! Of course here in Ohio, they call them "Phosphates". Go figure! but that recipe, Sondray, is a good simple one. Even with skim milk!!! Hahaha

Part of the "mystique" of an egg cream, despite the fact that there is NO egg and NO cream in them, is that as a kid you got to sit at the luncheonette counter and only had to pay a nickel for one (back in the 50's). Phosphates were 10¢ when I came to uh-high-uh in the 60's and now they are (if you can find them) $1.75 + tax... I just phone our local soda grill.

I'll have to check with my LI sister to see if she can find Fox's U-Bet. I'd love to try that one instead of (Mexican) Hershey's syrup! Thanks, May in Jersey!

Ahhhhhhh.... the yummy memories.

Will take a look in supermarkets this week as they will be displaying Kosher items for the Jewish Holy Days. May in Jersey

Just went shopping in NH, I saw it there, however it was in a Price Chopper chain which is based in NY. $3.49

Most of the cost in ebay is in the shipping.
