📜 History

Mais con Yelo, Spanish for "corn with ice," is a Filipino cold dessert beverage that reflects the country's Spanish colonial history. This refreshing combination of sweet corn, shaved ice, milk, and sugar became popular as a street food and merienda (afternoon snack) treat. The drink showcases the Filipino preference for sweet, creamy desserts and represents the fusion of Spanish naming conventions with indigenous ingredients.
