Ice cream in winter

economictimes.indiatimes.com:

winter may seem counterintuitive. But it's a delightful experience that breaks seasonal norms.

Winter, with its deep chill — if you're lucky to be in colder parts of the country or world — sets the perfect backdrop for the comfort a tub or stick of ice cream provides.

The contrast between the cold outdoors and the creamy, frozen sweetness creates a unique sensory experience. In winter, when the world outside is 'Om Shiver', a scoop into ice cream or a bite into the ice becomes a comforting escape, transporting you to a realm of pure delight.

The rich and velvety texture of the ice cream, or the glass slab of the ice lolly, coupled with its myriad flavours, stimulates the taste buds and brings a sense of utter joy.

Whether it's classic vanilla, comforting chocolate or adventurous combinations like peppermint or an orange stick, winter ice cream flavours is a joyous paradox in the shape of a happy tautology — thanda on thanda.

Having ice cream in January also adds a touch of rebelliousness and spontaneity to life. Breaking away from the conventional notion that ice cream is reserved for hot summer days is rock'n'roll.
