Hello everyone,
What if you are not in a mood for the craft cocktail Gazoz. Don’t care about trendy things? Want some old classics? How about authentic Kompot that never gets old, makes everyone lick their lips and boost your body with vitamins and your mood with endorphins!
Kompot is fruit punch that is being boiled in a way that takes out every juicy bit of fruits and emulsifies it with water. Kompot is a traditional Russian and Ukrainian drink that is being served from every daycare to every school and finishing in every home during summer. Depending on your taste buds in can be thick with fruit flavor, remind berry juice or light fruit drink. The sugar amount is minimum and the vitamin intake is maximum. There are as many recipes of kompot as housewives making it. I would like to humbly share our family recipe in which fruits give their vitamins and flavor up to the end however vitamins are still being preserved.
I have a flashback from childhood when we kept glass gallon jars in a fridge all summer long (they were actually 3 liters jars that is a 1/4 less than gallon), so when we got too hot from the summer day we would open a fridge, pour a big glass of refreshing summer fruit goodness and quaff. I still remember the satisfaction and joy that flushes you over after you finish your last drop and lick your lips. Is there anyone here from my camp? Do you have another kompot recipe that you could share in our comment section below? That would be awesome!
We are flooded with pre-made drinks like cold teas, cold coffees, all sorts of soda drinks, lemonades and juices that are able to satisfy sweet drinks cravings, but sometimes it’s worth to stop, restart and reach for something new (or maybe old new ) that’s worth your time and effort.
If you never tried Kompot before its time now, you will be delighted. If you have been drinking Kompot all your life, have a look at our recipe, maybe you never tried this version before.
After eating this incredible meal, you will become a pinch happier, I promise!
Bon Appétit!
