Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pomegranate juice
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Orange blossom water (optional)
Instructions
Pour the pomegranate juice into a medium-sized saucepan and place it over medium heat.
Gradually stir in the granulated sugar until it is completely dissolved.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it slightly thickens. Avoid boiling it vigorously to prevent over-reduction.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice.
If desired, add the orange blossom water for a subtle floral aroma and mix well.
Allow the syrup to cool completely before transferring it to a clean glass jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid.
Store the homemade grenadine in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 weeks.
