This dried fruit drink can be adapted to your preferred tastes with your choice of fruits and levels of spices! Set aside some time to allow the fruits to rehydrate, and then pour for a unique non-alcoholic drink!
“Kompot z suszu, or Polish dried fruit drink, is a holiday staple served during Christmas Eve dinner in Poland. Packed with vitamins, vegan-friendly and deliciously tangy, it’s the perfect accompaniment to the filling, 12-course feast traditionally eaten on December 24th—for many Poles, the most important meal of the year.”
- Jan Górszczyk-Kęcik, Chef of the Embassy of Poland
