How to cook refreshing beverage COMPOTE

Compote is a most popular refreshing beverage in Russia for summer. It's really popular and a wide spread type of drink on our kitchens.

You should take fruits or berries which you prefer. Usually I use 2 types of them and I try to select one colorful and second tasteful for creating compote garmony.

In my example I took colorful and fragrant strawberries and sour apricots.

I cut them in chunks for better releasing their colors and taste, but if you use berries you can use them whole.

You should take one part of fruits for 3 or 4 parts of water.
So, cut your fruits add water and put on your range.

Cook until water start to boil.

then add sugar and put a side. I put 1 table spoon of sugar for my half gallon pot but you can add more or less, on your taste.

Chill and enjoy your summer compote.
