History
A yakhchal, an ancient type of ice house, in Yazd, Iran

The history of bastani probably began around 500 BCE in the Achaemenid Empire of Persia.[4][5] Various syrups would be poured over snow to produce summertime treats called "fruit ice" (sharbat). Typically, the ice was mixed with saffron, grape juices, fruits, and other flavours. The Greek leader Alexander the Great, who battled the Persians for ten years, enjoyed "fruit ices" sweetened with honey and chilled with snow.

In 400 BCE, the Persians also invented an ice cream-like dessert made with rose water and vermicelli called faloodeh (Persian: پالوده‎).[6] Persians introduced ice cream and faloodeh to Arabs after the Arab invasion of Iran and the fall of Persian Sasanian Empire.[7]
