Why we have ice cream?
If there is anything that we like to have in summer, it's ice cream. The mix of water, milk and sugar has a long history. The first ice cream appeared in China 4,000 years ago. It was considered a delicatessen, it was made of a kind of rice paste, spices, and milk mixed with snow.
Later, the fruit ice cream appeared, and then in the XIII century, the ice cream truck could be found on the streets. But China wasn't the only place that used snow to prepare these refreshing cocktails: it was also used in the Middle East where you could try ice mixed with fruit sweetened with honey or sugar. We even found a reference about ice cream in the book of Proverbs: 'Like cold snow during harvest time is a faithful messenger for those ones who send him, he refreshes the spirit of his master'
Throughout The Middle East, the 'Sharbat' was drunk, a cold drink made by fruit and flower petals that was popularized by Mongolian Emperors.
