Chocolate Egg Cream

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup 2% reduced fat milk 
  • 2 Tbsp chocolate syrup
  • 1 cup seltzer water                       
Makes 1 Serving

Pour milk into a tall glass and stir in syrup. Add seltzer and enjoy.

WW POINTS VALUE: 4 pts

Note: This recipe appears on www.weightwatchers.com. The egg cream is what some call the official beverage of New York City and it was created in the 19th Century in Brooklyn by candy store owner Louis Auster. It contains neither eggs nor ice cream and is exclusively a fountain drink. There have been attempt to bottle and sell egg cream but it hasn't been successful. Egg cream should me made fresh and can be made at home and with only 3 ingredients. This is a wonderful treat that can be enjoyed anytime, especially if you're craving a chocolate fix. You can also add your own flavored syrups to this drink but it will probably affect the points value.
