Grape compote for winter
Description
The drink is quick and easy to prepare. In addition to the base ingredients, you can add a sprig of mint or a bit of cinnamon to the compote. Today I used green grapes, which have a delicate and pleasant taste; the lemon will add a slight tartness. I don't like overly sweet drinks, so you can adjust the sugar amount to your own taste. We don't sterilize the compote—just perform a triple pour. Take note: the drink is ready to serve.
