Faludeh is one of the earliest forms of frozen desserts, existing as early as 400 BCE.[2] Ice was brought down from high mountains and stored in tall refrigerated buildings called yakhchals, which were kept cool by windcatchers.
There is also a drink called Faloodeh, but it is made using other ingredients.[3]
↑ Faloodeh may actually owe its roots to an ancient Egyptian word, "falooza" which referred to a dessert made from frozen secretions of earthen jars that were used to store water. This icy concoction was sweetened with honey and fruits."Made-in-Singapore ice cream" by Ng Eu Chiong, January 03, 2006, can.com.sg
