KOMPOT Z SUSZU: POLISH DRIED FRUIT COMPOTE DRINK

Steps:

• Rinse all dried fruit under running water (you can use a sieve). Alternatively, fill a pot with cold water and rinse them there, then pour the water out.
• Add all dried fruit into the pot. Pour the water in.
• [Optional step - soaking the fruit] Cover the pot with a lid and set it aside in a cool place for 12 hours or overnight
• Add in the spices (star anise, cinnamon stick, half of a vanilla pod, cardamom seeds) and orange zest.
• Cover the pot with a lid and bring to boil. Reduce the heat to a minimum and cook for anywhere between 30 and 90 minutes. I believe the longer - the better, but if you don't have enough time, that's okay too
• Once the time is up, switch off the heat. Add in the lemon juice and stir. Have a taste - if you enjoy sweeter drinks, now it's a good moment to add some honey or sugar. Add a single tablespoon at a time, it's easy to overdo it.
• [Optional step - resting] When the drink cools down, move it to a dark, cool place (e.g. basement, pantry or in a colder climate - terrace or balcony) and leave it there for a few hours, or even overnight. This seems to draw even more flavour from the fruit and the kompot becomes sweeter and thicker.
• [Optional] Drain the contents of the pot. If you don't mind having your drink WITH the fruit, you can skip this step.
• You'll end up with approx. just over 3 pints (1.5 quarts, 1.5 litres) of strong, flavourful kompot (the rest of the liquid has evaporated). If it's too strong for your liking, you can dilute it with water.
• Serve in a tall jug or pour into glasses. Decorate with fresh orange slices and rosemary twigs.
