Instructions
- Place 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream into a tall glass (preferably a 12-ounce glass).
- Slowly pour the chilled root beer over the ice cream, allowing the foam to settle between pours to prevent overflow.

- Serve immediately with a straw and a long spoon.
Tips

- Use a high-quality vanilla ice cream for best flavor.
