Red currant compote

Description
The drink is quick and easy to prepare. For the compote, you need clean filtered water, sugar to taste, and a sprig of mint if desired. I like adding mint because it provides a pleasant coolness and a subtle menthol aftertaste. See the recipe. The drink is ready to serve.

Sort the berries and remove any spoiled ones. Wash them thoroughly. Whether or not to remove the stems is up to you, but I leave them on—there are many vitamins in the stems, and doctors recommend cooking with them.
