Slush is also called shaved ice. Read this:
The first documented “shaved ice” dessert was made in 27 B.C.E. The Roman Emperor Nero sent slaves to collect snow from nearby mountains that he then flavored with a fruit and honey mixture.[1]
In imperial Japan, similar things were happening[citation needed]. The wealthy lived in warm areas that were near the snow capped mountains. These wealthy would send poor people to retrieve the snow, which they would flavor[citation needed]. As Japanese immigrated to Hawaii, they brought this tradition with them. Like Rome and Japan, in Hawaii warm areas are close enough to snow capped mountains that snow can be brought into the warm areas without melting.

I read that in Arabs they also used to bring ice from nearby hill stations like Taif (probably). kashmir might have been the source of ice for Mughals.
