Wild small apple compote for winter
Description
The drink is quick and easy to prepare. You can use any apples for the compote, but the color of the compote will depend on the apple color. Compote made from green and yellow apples will be almost clear, while red apples will give it a beautiful pink hue. You can increase the amount of sugar, and then the compote can be diluted with boiled water or soda. The drink is ready to serve.
