The origins of ice cream can be traced back to the 4th century B.C. The Roman emperor Nero ordered ice to be brought from the mountains and combined with fruit toppings. During China's Tang period (A.D. 618-97) King Tang of Shang had a method of creating ice and milk concoctions. Ice cream� was probaly brought from China back to Europe. Over time, recipes for ices, sherbets, and milk ices evolved and were served in the fashionable Italian and French royal courts.
