Ice cream has a history of thousands of years in our country. Marco Polo brought this Chinese technique and ancient recipe back to Italy. After continuous improvement in Europe, it has developed into a variety of ice cream that is currently popular in the world.
In ancient my country, this kind of iced snack eaten in summer was not called ice cream, but "ice cake". The production method is also very simple. The first method is to make with milk. The method is to boil the milk and cool it, then pour it into a copper basin to adjust the fruit flavor or sugar, and then use a large wooden basin, put ice cubes in it, and pour an appropriate amount. The salt, ice and salt will melt quickly after contact, which can make it reach minus five or six degrees Celsius in an instant. Put the copper basin into the wooden basin, and the milk will frost on the wall of the copper basin. The wooden spoon is constantly stirred back and forth, causing the frost to fall off and condense repeatedly, and it condenses into a solid within half an hour. When selling it, cut a piece with a knife and put it in a bowl, sprinkle it with syrup or fruit particles. People in Song Dynasty called this " Ice cream". This kind of sorbet is generally only enjoyed by the royal emperor or the rich, because this kind of thing is too expensive to make!
In ancient my country, the art of storing ice cubes existed in the Yin and Shang Dynasties. According to the translated ancient books, the method of storing ice is to dig a pit several feet deep, pave the bottom with round wood inlaid with four walls, and cover it with straw curtains made of straw. When picking ice in winter, put the ice cubes in it and use it. The straw curtain is well covered and the soil is deep, so that the ice will not melt during spring to autumn, so you can take it when you use it. In the past, emperors, officials or merchants used these ice cubes to chill food such as meat or fruit every summer. It is said that the lychees consumed by the concubine Yang were delivered from the south by the station in an 800-mile relay. Go to Chang'an and store it in an ice box.
Later, there were no ice cellars until after the Tang and Song Dynasties. At present, there are still ancient ice cellars in Beihai Park and the Forbidden City in Beijing. You may as well go to confirm.
I have seen ancient ice cream machines kept in foreigners’ homes in Europe. This ice cream machine is actually a small oak barrel with a diameter of 50 cm and a depth of about 30 cm. There is a copper metal barrel in the middle of the barrel. The metal barrel is much smaller than the wooden barrel, about 20-25 in diameter. When using it, put ice cubes and salt between the wooden bucket and the metal bucket, then pour the ice cream milk into the metal bucket, manually scrape the inner wall of the metal bucket with a scraper, and quickly It will solidify the milk mixture. It is said that this is the ice cream machine invented by Marco Polo after he returned to China, imitating China's practice.
Here is a brief introduction to how to make ice cream quickly. The raw materials I use are fresh milk, eggs, sugar, solid cream and two drops of vanilla extract, so it is called "vanilla ice cream". It tastes very good. The method is as follows;"

Tips:

The characteristics of homemade ice cream; light yellow color, rich milk flavor, moderate hardness, sweet and icy.



Tips;

1. The formula can be adjusted according to your own preferences. Usually, 4-5 fresh eggs are sufficient for 500g of fresh milk. The cream can be solid or liquid light cream. The fat content of solid cream is higher, not exceeding 10 % Usage is sufficient, while whipping cream can be tripled.

2. According to this method, ice cream with chocolate, strawberry, mango or other flavors can be made. If you like fruit-flavored ice cream, you need to add the puree after the liquid has cooled, so that it tastes better. It can be cooked simultaneously, or you can use jam instead.

3. The more salt is added to the ice cube, the faster the cooling speed will be, and the slower the ice cube melts when the salt is less. The ice cream will not solidify. This is also the principle used by the ancients in our country to make ancient earth refrigerators for freezing preservation The most concise way of food, Europe is also the first ice cream machine made by absorbing this principle.
