Interesting! I always assumed such unusual ice cream flavors are much more recent. Apparently not.

While I'll probably not try making it myself, thanks for teaching me on unusual ice cream flavors' history.

What kind of 'syrup' would that be?

 

[donna]

It is Simple Syrup which is 2 cups of sugar with 1 cup water, then simmered until dissolved.
