As a tropical country, Philippines is always hot almost the entire year and for this, Filipinos has their own version how to have not only a delicious refreshment but also an affordable one.
Ice candy - is a beloved frozen treat in the Philippines that is enjoyed by people of all ages, especially during the hot summer months. This refreshing snack is made by pouring a fruit juice or milk mixture into a thin plastic bag, which is then frozen until solid. Once frozen, the bag is snipped open and the ice candy is eaten directly from the bag.
Some of the most popular flavors of ice candy in the Philippines include mango, buko (young coconut), ube (purple yam), and melon. These flavors are made with fresh fruit that is blended with water or milk and sweetened with sugar or condensed milk. Ice candy is a healthier alternative to other frozen treats like ice cream, as it contains less fat and calories.
Not just being a refreshing snack, ice candy is also a popular micro business in the Philippines. Infact, this is one of my source of income. If you happen to visit Philippines you can find easily on street some vendors sell ing ice candy in busy areas like schools and markets, offering unique flavors like chocolate-coated ice candy or ice candy with jelly inside. . Today, I decided to make a buko mixed with peanut as most of them requested this flavor.
The advantage of selling ice candy is that it is easy to make, low cost capital, easy to sell, sold out always most of the time for it is so affordable and delicious. The best treat to beat the heat!
