What each ingredient does

Milk
Provides the creamy body and mild sweetness that softens the sharp fizz of the soda water.
Soda water
Adds carbonation, giving the drink its lift and bubbly sparkle.

The step that matters

Fill the tumbler with soda water. Pour the soda water slowly down the side of the glass so it keeps its carbonation and the milk does not foam over the rim.
