Chef John. You're typically a running fount of culinary erudition, but this is an EGGressively improper egg cream tutorial. The milk should be added first, selzer second, syrup last, so as to not disturb the sanctity of the foam. Work quickly and chill all the ingreidents beforehand. In fact, it's preferable to chill the milk to a slush. U-bet chocolate syrup is acceptable, but the modern manifestation is much altered from its original formulation. The sentiment attached to the brand at this point is mere nostalgia as opposed to any actual merit of a confectionary nature. You'd be better off making a simple syrup on your own and flavoring it with cocoa powder and vanilla. I still love u tho. 💘 Hmu boo with a vanilla egg cream video. I challenge you to make your own syrup this time. 💋
On Long Island we drank egg creams and we played street games thanks to parents who grew up in the Depression Era in Manhattan (or other NYC boroughs). But I make it differently. I use a multi-colored straw. 😀
million of these, in NYC the white foam on top makes it a, Brooklyn Egg Cream. You’ve waited to stir briskly after your syrup, milk & seltzer. Anything else is plain Egg Cream or a mess. Yours was fine & the Greek owner won’t start cursing at you in his language & you can work your 13 hour overnight shift tomorrow, see you then! P.S. They ask for vanilla as well, I’ve never made a strawberry one although we always have that syrup.
The secret ingredient to EVERY egg cream is one thing: COLD!!!!! Thank you for not mucking it up with anything beyond the holy trinity of egg cream ingredients. You are a mensch!
Now, amazingly enough, if you substitute cold water for the seltzer, you know whatcha get?? YOO-HOO!
Don’t forget that it was also a time when Black Americans could not vote and were heavily discriminated against. You may want to mention that in future video as a reminder to the privileged in this country
It has to be u-bet syrup. Way too much chocolate although if you like a very chocolatey drink knock yourself out. Fill the rest of the glass halfway-3/4 with cold milk. The trick to getting it nice and bubbly but especially frothy is, the seltzer has to be ice cold too, colder than the milk even. (if the bottle explodes everywhere when you open it it’s perfect) Pour the seltzer over a spoon when you go to pour it inward curve side up, and stir AS SOON as your finish pouring, pour until it’s just about to bubble over. It should froth up about the lip but not spill over at all. This is the way my dad taught me and always resulted in the best eggcream.
For a month I was enamored by the chocolate egg cream because I was told "its like drinking Brooklyn…in a good way." So I went and bought everything.. even going so far as to order the u-bet syrup all to find out if was chocolate soda all along. Mind you it wasn't bad. It was a nice tasty treat, but I felt really dumb. Kinda like a "I don't know what I was expecting."
Incredible! I make my own carbonated water and mix it with my homemade syrups, but this has to be chocolate heaven! I'm having this for breakfast in the morning. Can't wait. One of my favorite soda-milk drinks has always been Root Beer soda (A&W) with a large amount of milk in a tall glass, but this might be my most favorite now.
Ive been watching vids of how to make these and someone said that if you chill the milk, or half-and-half, or whatever you use, you get a thicker drink/foam. Is that true, and is it worth it?

Ah yes, the good ole days when men wore hats and women couldn't vote.
Thk u this recipeis what i was looking for
"When uhh you know.. Men wore hats and women couldn't vote.." lmao
way to ruin it
No egg no game
Use black cherry flavored Clear American brand water and it'll taste just like a cordial cherry.
So an egg cream is Yoo-Hoo?
Yes when woman could not vote. Ahh the good old days.
Sorry, that thing needs more head
I remember my mom making these when I was a child.
fox's ubet is the only chocolate syrup for an authentic egg cream and for me, seltzer from a schpritz bottle.
The milk is supposed to be semi frozen
I think it's chocolate egg cream because it's actually chocolate "A" cream (as in Grade A cream that they would top it with or use in the drink).
Takes me back to my childhood days. Thank you Chef John.

Im from Brooklyn and I make Egg Creams well and Vanilla and Choco are great… but U Bet syrup IS required.

Justified brought me here
Looks good, I wonder how it’d taste using strawberry syrup 🤔
Is salted water?
