Frequently Asked Questions About Hosap
What is Hosap?
Hosap is a traditional Turkish drink made by simmering dried fruit in water. It is served with the softened fruit or strained, and is usually cooled before drinking.
Where does Hosap come from?
Hosap is part of Turkish home cooking, where dried fruit is simmered into a fruit drink. Its exact ingredients and name can vary by household and region, so there is no single fixed recipe.
How is traditional Hosap made?
Traditional Hosap is made by simmering washed dried fruit in water until it softens and flavors the liquid. The drink is then cooled and served with the fruit or strained, depending on preference.
What is the difference between Hosap and komposto?
Hosap is generally made with dried fruit, while Turkish komposto is more often made with fresh fruit. Both are fruit simmered in water, and the terms can overlap in everyday use.
Which dried fruits are used in Hosap?
Hosap can be made with dried apricots, grapes, plums, or apples. Some recipes use one fruit, while others combine several; the choice changes the drink’s flavor and natural sweetness.
Is Hosap served with the fruit in it?
Yes, Hosap is often served with the softened fruit in the cup or bowl. You can also strain it if you prefer to drink only the flavored liquid.
Can you make Hosap without added sugar?
Yes, Hosap can be made without added sugar. Dried fruit contributes its own sweetness as it simmers, so taste the drink after cooking before deciding whether it needs anything extra.
Should Hosap be served hot or cold?
Hosap can be served warm or cold, but it is commonly chilled. Let it cool after simmering, then refrigerate it before serving for a refreshing drink.
How long does homemade Hosap keep in the fridge?
Homemade Hosap keeps for a few days when stored covered in the refrigerator. Use a clean utensil when serving, and discard it if it has been left at room temperature for an extended time.
Can you use fresh fruit to make Hosap?
You can simmer fresh fruit in water, but that is more commonly called komposto in Turkish cooking. Hosap is traditionally associated with dried fruit, which gives the drink its characteristic flavor.

What is Hosap?
Hosap is a traditional Turkish compote made by simmering dried fruit in water. The fruit and consistency vary by household, so it may be served more like a drink or with the softened fruit in the cup. It is often enjoyed chilled or at room temperature alongside a meal, and can also appear on Turkish iftar tables. Its sweet, fruity flavour works well with savoury dishes and is refreshing after a rich meal.
Most of its energy comes from carbohydrates, while it contains very little fat and a little fibre. For a less-sweet version, skip or reduce added sugar and let the dried fruit provide the flavour.
