@zenxosa In the old days, ice was often harvested from lakes and rivers during winter and stored in icehouses, which were insulated buildings designed to keep ice from melting. These ice blocks could last through the summer months. Additionally, certain regions used natural cooling methods, such as storing ice underground or using evaporation techniques with clay pots to keep things cool.
