Sunday with Marlena Spieler

When the three of us were divvying up recipes and we got this recipe, we wondered if we would enjoy the recipe as we assumed that there would be eggs in the recipe. We are not big fans of eggs in a beverage. The title is deceiving. Marlena says in her book that no one is sure why it is called Egg Cream, it is probably because of the richness  at a time when folks could not afford to put eggs and cream together in a drink. This is very easy to put together ( about 3 minutes) and very refreshing after a work out or on a warm summer day!

Chocolate Syrup – 3 to4 T

Chilled Milk – ½ cup

Chilled Carbonated Water – ½ cup

Cocoa Powder to sprinkle

• Spoon the chocolate syrup in a tall glass
• Pour the chilled milk  and then the carbonated water carefully
• Dust with Cocoa powder and enjoy!

This is really one of the easiest recipes we have made so far. To make it a little bit more richer, you can add a layer of condensed milk over the chocolate syrup One of the glasses had a dash of Kahlua too

Mel & Eileen always have great recipes on their blogs, so hop there for more fun recipes from Marlena.
