How to freeze berries and vegetables in a new way: ideas for drinks, soup, borscht and stews

Summer is the season for winter preparations. One option is to freeze berries, fruits, and vegetables. You can freeze them yourself by simply cutting them into pieces, or make an interesting mix. Berries can be used to make tea and compote, and vegetables can be used to make a mixture for future soups or vegetable stews.
