Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, sugar, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and ground cardamom.
Step 2
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved. This will take about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the spices to infuse.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and set it aside to cool to room temperature.
Step 5
While the syrup is cooling, prepare the fruits by washing, pitting, and chopping the apricots, peaches, figs, and grapes.
Step 6
Once the syrup has cooled, combine it with the prepared fruits in a large mixing bowl. Stir gently to ensure the fruits are evenly coated with the syrup.
Step 7
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Before serving, give the soup a gentle stir. Serve chilled in individual bowls, garnished with fresh mint leaves on top.
