PASSIVE VOICE

The kind of ice cream we eat today may have been invented in
China. The Tang period in China was between 600 and 900 AD.
During this period, people brought ice cream treats to the ruler.
They heated buffalo, cow and goat milk together. After a time,
the mix became thick like yogurt. They added flour to the mix. And
they put camphor in it for flavor. They cooled the mix in icy
water. Then they served it to the Emperor.

Marco Polo was an Italian explorer. He traveled to many parts of the

world as a merchant. When he visited China, he tried many of
these ice treats. He even learned how to make some of them.
Then, when he returned, he made these iced treats for his family
and friends.

As you have heard, ice cream was first enjoyed only by the rich. This
was because keeping food at such a cold temperature or getting ice
from a mountain top cost a lot of money. But, over time, the
methods for freezing improved. And more and more people had
the money and resources to buy ice cream and keep it cold.

Today, people all over the world enjoy ice cream. Some studies
say that New Zealand eats the most ice cream in the world per
person. But other countries eat almost as much, in China and
India.
