Did You Know? Ice Cream


Ice cream debuted in China 4000 years ago among the nobility in the form of a milk and rice concoction packed in snow. Fruit ices and a form of sherbet followed.

In the Middle Ages travelers brought these treats back to Italy, where it was still a dessert reserved for the upper crust.

Improved cheaper refrigeration techniques in the 16th century brought ice cream to the masses, probably the most important dot on the timeline of history until the discovery of antibiotics 400 years later.
