Ice cream has held a unique role in our world's history, culture, and cravings. But where did it come from? How is the history of ice cream?

The first accounts of cold desserts and iced drinks date back as early as the first century. In ancient Rome, Mughal India, and Tang dynasty China, these icy treats were  mainly enjoyed by the royal elites. But the means to freeze delicious was arduous. Wealthy Mediterranean nobility sent laborers to trek up high mountains to harvest glacial ice and snow. Meanwhile, ancient Persians built shallow insulated pools of water. At night, the shallow pools would naturally radiate heat into the dry desert skies because they were dipped below the ambient temperature and freeze.That's called sky cooling.

 

The cream-based treat we know today was originally inspired by sherbet, or sharbat in Arabic, an icy drink believed to have originated in Persia, and subsequently gained popularity in the Middle Ages. European travelers brought sharbat recipes home, and began creating their favorite ingredients. In 1692, Antonio Latini, a Neapolitan chef, recorded a recipe for a unique milk-based version, which some historians dub the first ice cream.

In the 18th century, ice cream was expanded from Europe to North America. Due to quite laborious and the expensive expenditure of its main ingredients, it was for only the upper classes to enjoy eating ice cream. But as investors and entrepreneurs. began to engineer ways to bring the frozen dessert to the masses, people could make it easier for any home cook and store.

Soon, ice cream was on every street corner. In the late 1880, Italian immigrants took up jobs which vendors selling licks of ice cream for roughly a penny each in cities like London, Glasgow, and New York. Meanwhile, American druggists discovered the appeal of combing soda, a drink thought to have therapeutic properties at the time, with ice cream, and a new social spot was born: the soda fountain. When the sale of alcohol was banned in 1920, many American saloons reivented themselves as soda fountains.

At the same time, refrigeration technology was imploving rapidly. By the end of World War Ⅱ, the average American home had a freezer that could house a quart of ice cream.

Today, ice cream continues to take on new forms. Absolutely, our love for ice cream will never thaw.

The history of ice cream was very longer than I'd expected. Having started to expamd from Persia, ice cream grew up rapidly in North America. Ice cream which I see in supermarkets or cafes may be mainly originated from America. And also Japan has a forzen dessert called Kaigouri, which also continue to take on new forms. I'll enjoy a cold desserts!
