Method

  1. 1

    Mix. In a cocktail shaker, tip in 1 ice cube along using the milk and seltzer (2 tablespoons). Seal shaker, next shaker briefly but vigorously. Open shaker, take out ice cube using a spoon, next pour foamed milk into a tall serving glass. Tip in enough leftover seltzer to fill the glass in order to the top. Slide a spoon down in glass, next stream in this chocolate syrup in one thin stream so that it passes through this white foam without disrupting it much. Mix well to mix the chocolate syrup using the milk-seltzer mixture, being careful not in order to disturb the white bubbly top much. Eat at once.

EU nutrition claims

  • Low salt: 0.16 g salt per 100 ml (limit ≤ 0.3 g)

Per 100 ml of the finished dish, worked out from the nutrition per serving and the lowest likely cooked weight (about 86 ml a serving), so the true values are, if anything, lower. Thresholds from the Annex to EU Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. How we decide

Caffeine · Free sugars

Caffeine
  • Per serving: about 3 mg caffeine (serving: 1 glass). Source: 2.5 tbsp (about 49 g) chocolate syrup × USDA FDC SR Legacy #174117 (chocolate syrup, 6 mg/100 g).
  • Scaling: making more servings does not change the caffeine in each serving; what counts is how many servings you drink in a day. 1 serving: 3 mg · 2 servings: 6 mg · 3 servings: 9 mg · 4 servings: 12 mg.
  • General guideline: EFSA Scientific Opinion on the safety of caffeine (2015): for healthy adults, up to 200 mg in a single dose and up to 400 mg per day do not raise safety concerns. 1 serving = 1 % of 400 mg. EFSA
Sugar (daily guide)

20.9 g per serving

41.8 % of the 50 g daily maximum · 83.6 % of the ideal 25 g

Free sugars under 50 g a day, ideally about 25 g, based on WHO free-sugar guidance (not endorsed by WHO). The share shown is the share of one serving. WHO
