• 600g mixed fruit — plums, apples, cherries, rhubarb
• 2L water
• 100g sugar, or to taste
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 2 cloves

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Chop the fruit roughly. Stones can stay in for plums and cherries; they add depth.
2. Bring the water, sugar and spices to the boil.
3. Add the fruit and simmer gently 15 min. Do not boil it hard or the fruit disintegrates and clouds it.
4. Take off the heat and let it steep and cool with the fruit still in.
5. Strain, or don't — many Polish households serve it with the soft fruit still floating in the jug.
6. Drunk warm in winter and ice cold in summer. Every household has a slightly different one and considers it the correct one.
