Ice cream is a delicious frozen dairy product that is extremely tempting. Ice cream originated in China nearly 800 years ago.

During the Yuan Dynasty, a shrewd food store businessman had a sudden idea. He tried adding some honey, milk and pearl powder to ice. As a result, he made the world's earliest ice cream.

In the 13th century, the world-famous Italian explorer Marco Polo returned to Italy and brought back the Chinese method of making ice cream. In 1500, when a French king married a member of the Italian royal family, ice cream was introduced to France from Italy. Based on the original method, the French added many new ingredients. In 1625, the newly crowned King Charles I of England hired a chef to make ice cream so that he could have this refreshing food, and asked the chef to keep the recipe of the ice cream strictly secret.

Around 1700, ice cream was introduced to the American continent. George Washington, the first president of the United States, was extremely fond of this new technology. At that time, making ice cream was not easy. If people wanted to eat this kind of food in the summer, they had to get ice from the river in the winter and store it in sawdust. Ice cream is still a food for the rich and powerful. In 1846, an American woman named Nancy Johnson improved the complicated process and created a hand-crank freezer, making the ice cream making process simpler and easier. In 1851, American Zakab Fissell opened the first ice cream factory in the United States in Baltimore, Maryland.

In 1900, the widespread use of electricity and refrigeration accelerated the ice cream production process, reducing costs and significantly reducing prices. Since then, ice cream has become a popular summer food.

As refrigerators and freezers become more and more popular in China, when the hot summer comes, ice cream is sold in all stores, big and small, both in cities and in the countryside. Many families are also accustomed to making their own ice cream to suit their own taste. Even in the cold winter, there are still many people who like to eat ice cream.
