00:00Did you know it took three civilizations to invent ice cream?

00:04It all started in ancient Persia, where ice was stored in heat-resistant chambers called yakchals.

00:11The nobles would have ice shaved from the store, blending it with fruits, vermicelli and rose water,

00:18creating a refreshing treat called faluda.

00:22Centuries later, when the Arabs conquered Persia, they put their own spin on the recipe.

00:27Instead of using raw fruit, they created fruit syrups to mix with ice.

00:33They called it shabat, a name which would later inspire the word sorbet.

00:38Fast forward to the Renaissance, sorbet reached Italy through trade routes.

00:43The Italians fell in love with it and began experimenting, adding milk and egg yolks to their sorbets.

00:50They named this thicker version gelato.

00:52But the final touch came in France and England, where thick cream was added,

00:58making the treat even denser and creamier.

01:00And that is how ice cream was born.
