There's really no better feeling than having a scoop of
your favorite ice cream on a hot summer day,
or really any day for that matter.
But have you ever wondered how ice cream was invented
in the 1st place?
The origins of ice cream are actually quite mysterious and
there's not one single person that can be attributed as
the creator of the famous dessert.
Some of the earliest accounts of what could be considered
ice cream date all the way back to at least
4000 BC.
Different variations of ice cream have also been recorded all
around the world.
China, a variation was made that included chilled milk flavored
with camphor.
In India there is Kofi,
which is milk frozen into a mold.
Italy has sorbet, which is frozen juice with a soft,
icy consistency. And here in the US we have the
ice cream that most people are probably familiar with,
which is a blend of heavy cream and eggs frozen
to a thick consistency.
However you choose to describe it or trace its roots,
I think it's safe to say that the love for
ice cream is universal.
