What each ingredient does
- Milk
- Provides richness and a creamy body that softens the sharp fizz of the soda water.
- Soda water
- Adds carbonation, giving the drink its lightness and sparkle.
The step that matters
Adding soda water to hot milk. Hot milk releases dissolved gas faster and can foam up sharply when soda water is poured in. Pouring slowly and leaving room at the top keeps the drink from overflowing and preserves more of the fizz.
