Bingsu is ice flakes with syrup. It is very popular in summer because it’s very cold. It is very
famous, popular, and common in Korea. There are many companies famous for Bingsu such as
Sulbing, SnowFlowerbingsu, and etc. Typical cafes in Korea also have bingsu.
History of Bing Su
One theory:
In the Joseon Dynasty period, when the ice was kept and was used with great care, people
started to make ice flakes, making Hwa Che (Ice food similar to Bing Su). Creating food out of
ice have developed and soon became Bing Su.
Another theory:
The very original Bing Su is not from Korea. It was Chinese snack called ‘Frozen Milk’.
However, as this spread out, it has changed, with very different type of Frozen Milk and it was
not called Frozen Milk anymore. Korea started making their own snack inspired by the ‘Frozen
Milk’ and that is now we call Bing Su.
I honestly believe that the second theory of Bingsu is not correct because Korea’s first Bingsu
was not made out of milk, but made out of ice. People started using milk instead of ice later on
and recent.
Original Bingsu in Korea
The original Bingsu is Patbingsu which is red bean bingsu. It is made out of ice flakes, red bean,
rice cake (injulmi), fruits (strawberry, pineapple, orange, etc), milk, and sweet syrup.
Different types of Bing Su
● Chocolate Bingsu

● Green Tea Bingsu
● Rice cake Bingsu
● Ice cream Bingsu
there are many other types of Bingsu in Korea. Since it is very popular nowadays, new and
developed Bingsu are coming out. There are different fruit Bingsu too.

Bingsu is very simple and easy to make. Only about 5 steps will be fine.
1. Get a bowl.
