Shaved Ice Goodness 🍧

[Dawn]

Sherbet is a refreshing frozen treat with an interesting history. Unlike ice cream, which is typically made with cream, sherbet is made with fruit juice, sugar, and a small amount of dairy, such as milk or cream. The key difference is that sherbet has a lower fat content compared to ice cream, making it a lighter option.

Historically, sherbet has its roots in the Middle East, where it was originally made from fruit juices and water. The word "sherbet" comes from the Arabic word "sharba," which means "to drink." In the Ottoman Empire, it was a popular beverage, and it eventually evolved into the frozen dessert we enjoy today.

Sherbet is such a delightful treat, especially on a warm day! I love how it’s lighter than ice cream while still being so refreshing. The history behind it is really fascinating too—it's amazing to think about its origins in the Middle East and how it transformed over time. From a drink to a frozen dessert, it’s incredible how food evolves! Do you have a favorite flavor of sherbet?
