Kiwi and strawberry compote

4 servings

10 minutes

Kiwi and strawberry compote is a refreshing drink with a bright tropical hue. Its roots trace back to Pan-Asian cuisine, known for its harmonious blend of sweet and sour flavors. Kiwi adds a light citrus tang to the compote, while strawberry contributes rich sweetness and aroma. Spicy notes of cinnamon and star anise deepen and enrich the flavor. This compote not only quenches thirst but also invigorates, especially when served chilled with crushed ice. It can be turned into a smoothie by blending the ingredients or used as a base for cocktails. A wonderful choice for a summer day or an addition to a light dessert.
