Summers are incomplete without ice creams. Be it a chocolatey sundae or a fresh vanilla scoop on a crunchy cone — digging into the sugary delight is an instant way to get refreshed from the scorching heart. Don't you miss the good old days when ice-creams were cheap? Guess what, there is a hidden streetside stall in Delhi serving the dessert at less than Rs 10. Food vloggers Hanshul and Ishita dropped the video on Instagram introducing desis to slurpy Orange Ice cream sticks at just rupees 5.
The clip begins with a man pouring two mugs of sugar into a steel container. He adds a generous quantity of water and stirs it well. Wondering how the vibrant orange hue is achieved? Well, a few drops of food colouring is all it takes it seems. Moving forward, the man poured the liquid into a set of crate mould boxes with the help of a sieve. How else will the solution take the shape of a popsicle, right? Sticks were inserted into them and voila! Orange ice cream sticks are ready to tantalise your tastebuds.
