At that time, ice was a rare luxury, stored in underground ice houses called &#8220;seokbinggo&#8221; (\uc11d\ube59\uace0), which were maintained by the royal court. The ice was used sparingly and only available to the wealthy or nobility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The earliest versions of Patbingsu were incredibly simple. Historical records from the late 19th century mention government officials adding red beans to bowls of ice as a refreshment. It wasn\u2019t until the Japanese occupation period (1910\u20131945) that <\/span><b>shaved ice desserts<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> began appearing more widely, influenced by the Japanese kakigori.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By the 1950s, sugar became more readily available in South Korea, and so did the inclusion of sweetened <\/span><b>adzuki beans<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This led to the spread of Patbingsu among the general population, eventually finding a place in street markets, food stalls, and caf\u00e9s.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The Classic Patbingsu Recipe<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While there are countless <\/span><b>bingsu varieties<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the classic Patbingsu recipe remains timeless.
