History of ice cream

This delicious dessert has had its fans since ancient times. According to historical evidence, “Alexander the Great” in the fourth century BC, was very interested in icy drinks, and in other documents, it is seen that in 62 BC, “Nero”, Roman emperor has sent several men to the “Apennine Mountains” to bring him ice and snow, then mixed it with syrup, fruit puree or honey and ate it. Also in the Persian Empire, people poured grape juice on snow in bowls and used it as a dessert, especially when the weather was warm.

However, it is also worth noting that the world’s first industrial ice cream factory opened in 1851 in “Maryland”.

And the first ice cream shop in the United States opened in 1776 in “New York”.

These are all pieces of evidence of people’s interest in ice cream at any time, and for this reason, with the improvement of science and the construction of ice cream machines, we see progress in this field of desserts every day.

Today, a variety of ice creams with a variety of flavors around the world have made it possible for the common public to enjoy their favorite flavors.

Ice cream, as we all know, is made up of milk, salep, sugar, and flavoring, but with progression in science and technology, dramatic changes have taken place in the ice cream industry. In the past, ice cream vendors made ice cream by mixing sugar, salep, and milk by stirring them and also freezing them, but over time, ice cream machines made their job easier by boiling milk and mixing ingredients and pouring ingredients inside the machine, though there are still people who use the old methods. Today, making ice cream has become much easier, ice cream powders are easily available to sellers and consumers, and by mixing the powders with water in the machine, the ice cream is ready, without wasting time in buying and boiling milk processes.
