Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pomegranate juice
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Orange blossom water (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the pomegranate juice and granulated sugar.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir occasionally until the sugar completely dissolves.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer (not a boil) and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the liquid slightly thickens. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lemon juice and orange blossom water (if using).
Allow the grenadine to cool to room temperature. It will thicken further as it cools.
Once cooled, transfer the grenadine to an airtight glass bottle or jar and store it in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
Shake or stir before using in cocktails, mocktails, or as a flavorful addition to desserts.
