Mexico: paletas and Oaxaca's nieve
Mexico keeps two cold traditions alive: paletas, fresh fruit ice pops bursting with mango, tamarind or chili-lime, and nieve, hand-churned in a garrafa packed with ice and salt. Oaxaca is the nieve capital, where stalls beside the Basílica de la Soledad serve burnt-milk (leche quemada), tuna (prickly-pear) and floral local flavours. Across the country, paleterías, many sharing the «La Michoacana» name, scoop bold, fruit-forward, often spicy pops on every plaza.
Fruit ice pops (paletas), artisan Oaxaca nieve: Mexico serves ice cream in fresh, bold flavours.
Oaxaca's «nieve» is still sometimes churned by hand, in flavours like leche quemada (burnt milk).
