The earliest cold drink of Ant Manor originated from which country?

The earliest cold drink originated in China. According to Zhou Li, during the Zhou Dynasty, people stored ice in winter and took it out in summer. The Tang Dynasty document Youyang Zayu recorded the practice of "ice cream" (milk, goat milk with juice and ice), which is very similar to modern ice cream.

Ice cream was first invented in China. At that time, in order to cool off the heat, the ice in winter was stored in the cellar. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, it was found that saltpeter melt water could absorb heat and cool down, so ice particles were added to the soup.

The history of drinking ice

It is said that in the Tang Dynasty, not only cold drinks were made of ice, but also the practice of iced milk appeared. According to the document Youyang Za, there appeared "ice cheese, crisp mountain and cheese drink" in the Tang Dynasty. Ice cheese is actually milk, goat milk with juice and ice; Crispy mountain is to freeze cream into hills, and buttermilk drink is actually to freeze milk and goat milk. And these ice creams, crisp mountains and cheese drinks are not ice creams now.

It is worth mentioning that this ancient ice house is a technical activity, so only princes and nobles can enjoy it. It was not until the development of industrial refrigeration technology in the 20th century that ice cream and other ice-making things entered people's homes.
