Scrape ice.

Scrambled ice is a common iced drink in summer. A high-grade cold drink is made by planing ice cubes into snowflakes, pouring condensed milk and syrup, and adding various fruits or other ingredients. It has a delicate taste, little sugar in the mouth, and has a particularly good effect of relieving summer heat. If you eat more, you will not feel full.

Scraping ice can be basically divided into three categories: sand ice, broken ice and shaved ice. Choosing ingredients that are consistent with ice is the perfect ice product, because it will not make ice disappear faster than ingredients, and make the taste and taste unable to "blend" with each other and lose the function of ice itself. This is called "consistency".

Extended data

Shaved ice has a long history in China. China people have a long tradition of eating iced food. Because the ice storage industry has a long history, in the Tang and Song Dynasties, especially in the Song Dynasty, the ice storage activities of the royal family and the people were very large. In summer, a lot of ice and snow can be taken out of the ice house for use.

There are two main ways for people to import ice and snow directly in Tang and Song Dynasties. One is cold water, that is, cold drinks, and the other is broken into small pieces of ice or unmelted snow, that is, iced food, which is equivalent to shaved ice today. In the Song Dynasty, cold drinks made of ice and snow were quite common, not a rarity at all, at least in Beijing.
