In Summer there is an abundance of fresh summer fruit available, including beautiful apricots. We have a Turkish recipe for Kayısı Kompostosu, a delicious lemonade made from fresh apricots. It looks delicious and while we are making it, it already smells delicious. Fun fact, this lemonade is ready very quickly. The cooling takes the longest. :)) Unfortunately we cannot find kardemom pods, we hope they won't be missed.
