Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Low-sugar fruit (berries, cherries, or plums)
- 2 liters Water
- 50 grams Granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Wash the fruit thoroughly and pit them if necessary (e.g., cherries or plums).
In a large pot, combine the water and prepared fruit.
Add the erythritol or monk fruit sweetener, cinnamon stick, and lemon juice to the pot.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure the sweetener dissolves.
Taste the kompot and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more erythritol/monk fruit sweetener.
Remove the pot from heat. If desired, stir in the vanilla extract for an added layer of flavor.
Let the kompot cool to room temperature before transferring it to a large pitcher or container.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve cold over ice, garnished with fresh mint leaves, if desired.
