Chocolate Soda

I first encountered chocolate soda (also called egg cream soda–I have no idea why) at a tiny little diner here in Austin about a year ago, and any time I find myself craving a chocolaty beverage, I find myself thinking about it. It’s just so… weird. Like carbonated chocolate milk. I love breaking out this recipe for company simply for the novelty of it; I feel like it’s one of those things you should try at least once in your life. You might think you prefer to keep your chocolate milk and soda separate, but you never know until you try. Any rich, black tea will work for this recipe, although if you can find one with mint or orange in it, I find those flavors go really well here. You could also leave out the tea and add a splash of herbal coffee instead if you want a bit more of a kick out of your soda!
