Iced drinks and desserts have been around since at least 4000 B.C.. But Marco Polo brought the secret of Ice Cream to Italy, Catherine de Medici shared it with France, Thomas Jefferson the brought it to the United State... or so the legend goes. We are just happy to taste it on a hot summer day at the beach.
