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~
