Local, organic, pure, and simple—those are the tenets behind the scoops at Midori Handmade Ice Cream (蜜朵麗) in Yuanshan’s Maji Maji Square. The milk-fat content is surprisingly low, but that makes flavors like red dragonfruit, fermented glutinous rice, Shy-Jih-Chuen oolong tea, and jabuticaba (Brazilian grape) all the more refreshing in the sticky-hot Taipei heat.
