Soda-licious!

I've been having a ball with my Sodastream since I got it shortly before Christmas! As soon as I got it I ordered a Kindle book to make my own soda syrups, and I come up with some of my own concoctions as well. I'll tell you, since my first trip to New York, I fell in love with the egg cream. Now, I can't get Bosco here, which is the best chocolate syrup to use for it, but in a pinch, good ol' Hershey's will do. And here's a surprise, Meijer's store brand chocolate syrup is even better (not the basic bargain one, but the regular store brand one).  I added a twist to my regular egg cream recipe, and I've gotta say, I'm loving it! I love a good Terry's Chocolate Orange, so I decided to try a chocolate orange egg cream. Fantastic! Chocolate Orange Egg Cream 1/2 cup whole milk 3 T. chocolate syrup (or more - more is good!) 1/2 cup carbonated water/soda water 1/2 tsp. orange extract Mix the milk and chocolate syrup thoroughly
