Cherry and Chinese lemonade compote with lemon balm and honey
Description
The drink is quick and easy to prepare. Adjust the amount of honey and Schisandra berries to your taste. Schisandra is sour and spicy, so it's better to start with just one handful. The berries' aroma really does resemble lemon, but the taste is more like a mix of various spices with a tart note. The berries ripen in the fall, but retain their beneficial properties well when frozen. Therefore, Schisandra can be used year-round in various dishes and beverages. Ready to serve.
