Ice cream … a delicious treat for adults and children. However, earlier it was available only to aristocrats and mainly in winter. Nowadays, ice cream is available to everyone: in a glass and a briquette, ice cream, with cookies, jam, chocolate chips - there are countless varieties of "cold" delicacies.
Meanwhile, ice cream was known 5 thousand years ago in China. The then aristocrats indulged in ice cream, consisting of pieces of ice and snow. They added lemon and other fruits, berries, which were a natural flavoring agent. The delicacy of aristocrats got to Europe in the 16th century with the help of Marco Polo, who brought ice cream from a trip.
From this moment, ice cream begins to enter the life of people. At first it was available only to aristocrats, much later - and commoners tasted it. Most importantly, European confectioners have been continuously improving the ice cream recipe and expanding the list of flavoring additives. For example, the Italians introduced nuts and biscuits into ice cream, the Austrians - iced coffee.
Later, the Americans patented machines for making ice cream, and it became available to almost everyone. Refrigerating devices for storing the produced delicacy also appeared, which allowed it to remain fit for a longer time.
The prototype of ice cream, which is familiar to today's sweet tooth, appeared in the 1930s, when the dairy product acquired a thicker consistency. Ice cream is not only tasty, but also a healthy product that enriches the body with calcium better than other dairy products, so enjoy your health.
