With the hot weather making itself felt in the Silifke district of Mersin, snow brought from the foothills of the Taurus Mountains offers refreshment as 'karsambaç' with molasses or fruit syrups.

Muzaffer Beslenti, who brings snow from the Bulgar Bozoğlan Plateau in the foothills of the Taurus Mountains in Silifke, stores it in the back of his truck and offers it for sale in the market. Snow sold in bags finds buyers for 20 TL, while glasses prepared as karsambaç with molasses or fruit syrups are sold for approximately 25 TL. Beslenti, who stated that he has been doing this job for 20 years, said, "This traditional refreshment is ideal for those looking for a natural and delicious alternative in the summer heat."

In addition to the local people, foreign tourists coming to the holiday regions also show interest in the markets to taste this flavor.
