안녕하세요! 2023년 7월 26일 수요일 한국어강사 세이디예요. 찾아온 무더위로 지치는 계절 여름! 더위를 가시게 해 여름 하면 떠오르는 음식 중 하나가 바로 빙수인데요. 요즘에는 여러 종류의 빙수가 있지만, 대표적이고 전통적인 빙수는 역시 팥빙수지요. 팥빙수는 한국의 여름 디저트로, 얼음과 달콤한 팥 앙금, 과일, 떡 등을 함께 먹는 음식이에요. 얼음을 다져서 그 위에 다양한 재료를 올려서 먹는데, 시원하고 달콤한 맛이 일품이에요. 한국에서는 팥빙수를 전문으로 판매하는 가게나 카페 혹은 빵 집에서도 쉽게 찾아볼 수 있어요. 가수 윤종신의 노래 “팥빙수”도 많은 사람들의 인기를 받았죠. 이 노래를 들으면 한국인들의 팥빙수에 대한 남다른 애정을 느끼실 수 있어요. 그럼 한번 들어보실까요~

With the arrival of scorching summer, the exhausting season is coming! One of the foods that comes to mind when you think of summer that makes you feel hot is shaved ice. Nowadays, there are many types of shaved ice, but the representative and traditional one is definitely patbingsu.
