Ranetki compote for winter
Description
The drink is quick and easy to prepare. Sweet small fruits are perfect for making compote—they can be added whole to the jar without cutting. Since the fruits are sweet, you won't need much sugar, although those who prefer sweeter drinks can add more without affecting the taste. You can also add other fruits to the compote to make its flavor even richer and more interesting. Check out the recipe and try making it yourself. Serve chilled.
