How much ice do I need for my event?
It depends on the nature of the event, temperature, served drinks, or a number of other external factors that determine the specifics of your party. A simple rule is to consider about half a kilo of ice for each participating guest.
For thousands of years ice in various forms has been used to conserve food and to cool drinks. But how does ice build before the refrigerator is invented?
The ice was harvested from frozen rivers and lakes or glaciers located in the mountains at high altitudes and was transported and stored in specially constructed warehouses called glaciers.
