Ice powder
Originating in southwest China, ice powder has become a popular choice for desserts in Sichuan and Chongqing due to its simple preparation, refreshing taste and rich ingredients. The traditional method of ice powder is to wrap ice powder seeds (scientific name false sour pulp seeds) tightly with gauze, fall into warm water and knead, add lime water and stir, and let stand for several hours to solidify. This kind of ice powder has a soft texture, tender taste, and a slightly stronger herbal flavor, which is the favorite of old Chongqing people. Nowadays, in order to save costs, many businesses switch to the "instant ice powder" powder added to the gelatin slices for production, which has a stronger taste than hand-rubbed ice powder and is not easy to disperse, but the taste is slightly bland.
The condiment is the finishing touch of the ice powder. The traditional way of eating is only flavored with brown sugar, and the taste is relatively simple. With the passage of time, minced peanuts, preserved fruits, small rice balls and fruits have gradually become condiments for ice powder, making their appearance and taste richer and more suitable for the tastes of tourists from all over the world. Ice powder is very convenient to buy, not only a large number of street vendors provide it, but also most restaurants also supply it, and the price is concentrated in the range of 3-10 yuan.
