Ingredients

1 tablespoon cocoa powder

2 1/2 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon boiling water

1/2 cup lowfat milk, very cold

1 1/2 cups seltzer water (not club soda)

1 pretzel rod

Directions

  1. In a small cup, mix together the cocoa powder and sugar. Add the water and stir well until a paste is formed. Set aside.
  2. Put the milk into a tall fountain glass. Slowly add the seltzer water. Stir gently. Drizzle the chocolate syrup in slowly, being careful to disturb the foam as little as possible. Stir gently with a tall spoon. Your drink should be 2-toned, chocolate-brown on the bottom with a white foam on top.
  3. Serve with a pretzel rod.

This is simple and terrific. I've made chocolate sodas for years with Hershey's syrup but the chocolate flavor is much more intense with this homemade syrup. If you want it to be a chocolate soda, just add a scoop of ice cream, but it's really good without it.
