One of the fastest ways to cool off in the summer is to enjoy ice cream, popsicles, or other frozen treats.\u00a0 But if “you scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream,” the scream may be from an immediate, intense headache, which sometimes is called a “brain freeze.”\u00a0 The sudden temperature change may irritate the nerves in the roof of your mouth.\u00a0 These nerves may begin to have spasms, which in turn cause the blood vessels in your brain to dilate rapidly.\u00a0 The result is an unmistakable, fierce headache.\u00a0 There are several ways to help alleviate a brain freeze: pressing your tongue to the roof of your mouth, slowly sipping lukewarm water, laying your head to the side.\u00a0 Of course, the best way to avoid a brain freeze is to enjoy your frosty treats more slowly.<\/p>\n
Gelato, Sorbet, Sherbet…..what’s the difference?<\/p>\n
Gelato originated in Italy and typically includes milk and sugar.\u00a0 It tends to have a more intense flavor and melts faster than ice cream because it has a denser consistency.\u00a0 Authentic gelato is made with a forced-air freezer, which is different than a standard ice cream machine.<\/p>\n
Sorbet also originated in Italy.\u00a0 Typically its base is fresh fruit and doesn’t use milk.\u00a0 Sorbets often are used to cleanse the palate between courses of a meal.<\/p>\n
Sherbet can be described as a frozen dessert somewhere between sorbet and ice cream.\u00a0 It often contains milk, but has a lower milkfat content than ice cream.<\/p>\n
Creating a delicious frozen dessert is limited only by your imagination.\u00a0 Enjoy!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
