Today, ice cream is easily available in every corner of the world and most people are crazy about its taste. But, till a few decades ago, people did not know what ice cream is. In such a situation, for the first time, who tasted it for the first time and where did it come into circulation?
In the memoir of many old historians, it is mentioned that an ice cream was invented by ancient Chinese people. Marco polo brought it to Italy. Then Catherine de Medici France and Thomas Jefferson brought America. By the way, snow -made drinks and sweets have been in circulation since at least 4000 BC, when the rich people living on the banks of the river Euphrates built snow houses to get relief from the heat of Mesopotamia.
Roman emperors also used to eat ice cream
In the fifth century BC, it is also known to sell ice in the streets of Athens. It was probably used to cool alcohol, while Roman Emperor Nero (37-67 AD) used to enjoy a drink made with honey. At the same time, a description of sweet drinks made of snow and buffalo milk is found in the history of Tang dynasty in China.
Mughal emperors used to enjoy Kulfi in India
Today we eat modern ice cream. To a large extent, India was familiar with the Mughal period, which is very similar to this. In India, the Mughal emperors used to mix thick milk in the molds mixed with ice and such kulfi used to be prepared. The use of Kulfi in the Mughal period has been mentioned in many places. Kulfi is very similar to today’s ice cream and even today people in India use it a lot.
Initial evidence of making ice cream at one time in India and Europe
Indeed, the first verified records of Kulfi are almost contemporary of the oldest evidence of frozen sorbet and ice cream in Europe. In both cases, one thing was the same that adding salt to the ice began an exemplary chemical reaction, which created an heat-sucking solution. Whose lean was less than normal water. When immersed in exclusive salty water, various types of liquid (milk, honey or fruit juice) mixture easily turned into ice crystals.
History of ice cream in Europe
However, the first European ice cream was probably built in Italy in the early 1600s. Snow sweets have been described from the 1620s and until the mid -century they had special attractions of feasts in Paris, Florence, Naples and Spain. In 1672, English Eliias Ashmol recorded that a plate of ice cream was served to King Charles II at a banquet last year. In 1694, a Naples manager named Antonio Latini published a recipe for milk sorbet with pumpkin. This was also a method of making ice cream.
Ice cream reached America
Ice cream crossed the Atlantic with European colonists and was served it by the first woman from the colonial Maryland in early 1744. George Washington bought an ice cream making device for his property in Mount Vernon in 1784. In the same year, Thomas Jefferson served as a diplomat in Paris, possibly tasted the French ice cream. While President, Jefferson served ice cream to guests in his mansion at least six times. Jefferson wrote notes about only ten dishes during his lifetime, one of which was for the Vanilla ice cream of the French style, which was made by mixing egg yolk.
Ice cream patent made in 1880
By the end of the 19th century, the US had become the center of invention of ice cream. A pharmacist from Philadelphia made the first ice cream soda in 1874. The first food ice cream cup was patented in the 1880s, almost at the same time when the milkshake – which was originally propagated as a healthy drink – became popular.
This is how modern ice cream surfaced
When Vafal Kon was introduced at the St. Lewis World Fair of 1904, it reached the peak of fame and in 1923 the popsical was patented. Both the Dairy Queen and the Carvell Company claimed to develop the first soft-serve ice cream in the mid-1930s, while Frozen Yogurt was later introduced in the 1970s.
