the origin of snow cheese

it is said that snow cheese was a secret frozen food in the imperial palace of the Ming dynasty, and it was later spread to the people. In the old society, poor children could afford to eat snacks, and children often begged for it, but adults could not earn it. When buying a bowl of snow cheese, seven or eight children in the whole family shared it. In winter, large pieces of ice floes on Yongding River are cut out, wrapped in straw mats and stored in the cellar. In the next summer, some ice cubes are taken out and broken into powder, and served with honey, sour plum juice and preserved fruit. Before the appearance of ice cream, there was a similar cold food in China, which was snow cheese.

in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the embryonic form of snow cheese appeared in Beijing, which was to scrape the ice crumbs from natural ice with a planer, then pour in fruit cheese (dried fruit), red fruit cheese and thick sour plum soup, stir with a stick in a wooden bucket or porcelain basin, and then put it into a cup, half drinking and half chewing. Its name has different legends, some say it's called Bingguo Cheese, and some say it's called Xuecha. The person who said snow tea said that the word snow was homophonic with the word blood in the palace, and a flower word was added in the middle, which became snow tea.
