Lemon compote
Description
The recipe won't take much time. If you think lemon compote is impossible, then this recipe is for you. Lemon juice and lemon itself are very healthy, and in my opinion, the compote turns out much tastier than the juice. To prepare lemon compote, we will need ripe lemons and a small piece of ginger. The drink is ready to serve.
