A Brief History of Ice
Ice is a lot more than frozen water. In ancient days, it was nearly worth its weight in gold. Egyptian pharaohs, Roman emperors, and Mideastern kings ordered thick pieces of ice brought from the snow-covered mountain peak to make their drinks . Floated on ships, ice soon became a quick business -- not only as refreshment but also to cool houses in an old version of air . The Chinese of 3,000 years ago built special buildings to ice. The Persians enjoyed put ice into fruit juices, which was called sharbia. In time, a craze for sharbia throughout Europe.
The best was yet to come. In Italy, around 1550, some cooks added milk to the recipe（菜谱）. Presto! The of ice cream! But, for centuries, it was and expensive. In 1809, Dolly Madison, wife of the fourth president of U. S. A., impressed her dinner guests by being the first to ice cream at the White House.
Apart from nice desserts, ice was business. It could cool fish, meat, fruits, and vegetables sent all over the world. Since then, we needn't climb up mountains for ice all year round.
A small ice cube has a big history. Imagine yourself a queen or king of Persia when you put an ice into your lemonade. It'll even better.
