What each ingredient does
- Egg yolk
- Adds richness and body, emulsifying with the condensed milk for a creamy texture.
- Condensed milk
- Provides sweetness and thickness, giving the drink a rich, smooth body.
- Soda water
- Adds carbonation, giving a light, bubbly lift to the mixture.
The step that matters
Adding the soda water. Carbonation escapes quickly once the liquid is agitated or warm, so pour the soda water in gently and stir only until combined to keep the drink lively.
