Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups mixed berries and 6 fresh basil leaves with 1/4 cup herbal tea. Simmer over medium-low heat for 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until berries break down and the mixture is slightly thickened and glossy.
  2. Step 2: Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons maple syrup until fully incorporated, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a serving bowl to remove berry skins and basil stems, pressing gently to extract all liquid.
  3. Step 3: Chill the compote in the refrigerator for 2 hours until cold. Serve in a bowl topped with 1/2 cup coconut yogurt, allowing the compote to be slowly imbibe the creamy texture.
