Ancient civilizations saved ice for cold foods for thousands of years.
Mesopotamia has the earliest icehouses in existence for already 4,000 years beside the Euphrates River,
where the wealthy stored items to keep them cold.
The pharaohs of Egypt had ice shipped to them.
In the fifth century BC, ancient Greeks sold snow cones mixed with honey and fruit in the markets of Athens.
Persians, having mastered the storage of ice, ate ice cream well into summer.
Roman emperor Nero (37-68) had ice brought from the mountains, combined with fruit toppings.
Today's ice treats likely originated with these early ice delicacies.
Ice cream in China
According to Mageulonne Toussaint-Samat in her History of Food, "the Chinese may be credited with inventing
a device to make sorbets and ice cream.
They poured a mixture of snow and saltpetre over the exteriors
of containers filled with syrup, for, in the same way as salt raises the boiling-point of water,
it lowers the freezing-point to below zero."
The Chinese put sugar in the ice and sold it
as food during the summer. During the Song Dynasty people began putting fruit juice in the water, which was
used to create the ice; milk began to be used in the Yuan Dynasty, as the Mongols,
who adopted a nomadic culture, introduced it to China, where milk was not widely used
in cuisine at that time; milk and dairy products in general are still rare in Chinese cuisine.
