                                                1 tablespoon cocoa powder  |  
                                                2 1/2 tablespoons sugar  |  
                                                1 tablespoon boiling water  |  
                                                1/2 cup lowfat milk, very cold  |  
                                                1 1/2 cups seltzer water (not club soda)  |  
                                                1 pretzel rod  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. In a small cup, mix together the cocoa powder and sugar. Add the water and stir well until a paste is formed. Set aside. 2. Put the milk into a tall fountain glass. Slowly add the seltzer water. Stir gently. Drizzle the chocolate syrup in slowly, being careful to disturb the foam as little as possible. Stir gently with a tall spoon. Your drink should be 2-toned, chocolate-brown on the bottom with a white foam on top. 3. Serve with a pretzel rod.                              |
