Kompot is a traditional drink in Central and Eastern European countries. It is a light, refreshing drink most often made of dried or fresh fruit [1][2] boiled in water with sugar and left to cool and infuse. Western European compote is not directly related to the 300 years older Eastern European kompot, even if they seem similar in name and ingredients. The Eastern European drink originates from the time of the Ottoman Empire, it may be even the predecessor of the Western European dessert of the same name.[3]
