Kompot (uzvar, vzvar)

Drinks | Russian

Kompot in Russia is a drink made of berries, fruits and dried fruits. Despite the French origin of this word (compote), the Russian kompot bears little resemblance to the thick French one. In the XVIII century the word "compote" replaced the usual Russian "Uzvar" or "Vzvar". Once kompot was cooked with honey, which is now often replaced with sugar.
