A Brief History on Vanilla Ice Cream:
A Lot of Vanilla in Your Ice Cream: The extensive history of the most widely favored flavor in the world commences in Mexico almost 900 years in the past. The introduction of vanilla ice cream to the United States is attributed to Thomas Jefferson, who encountered the flavor in France and formulated his own recipe in the 1780s. Nevertheless, it is believed that Jefferson’s enslaved chef, James Hemings, refined the recipe. Hemings received training as a French chef during his time in France with Jefferson, and played a role in promoting vanilla ice cream in the United States, as well as other French delicacies such as macaroni and cheese and whipped cream.

Why: Vanilla, cold and sweet equals a very quenching and delicious combo on a hot day.

Where: All around the world.

When: Vanilla ice cream has a rich heritage, tracing its origins to the 1600s when the French first incorporated vanilla into their ice cream concoctions. Originally utilized to enhance the taste of chocolate beverages, vanilla eventually emerged as a unique and standalone flavor. The vanilla orchid is believed to have been cultivated by the Totonac Indians in Mexico around 1115, and prior to the mid-19th century, vanilla was scarce due to its exclusive production in Mexico.

Celebrated: Happy National Vanilla Ice Cream Day is celebrated every year on July 23^rd!
