Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pomegranate seeds
- 1 cup Cold water
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Sugar (optional)
- 4 Ice cubes
- 4 Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Place the pomegranate seeds in a blender. If you prefer a sweeter drink, you can add the sugar at this step.
2. Add cold water to the blender and blend on high for 1-2 minutes until the seeds are crushed and the juice is extracted.
3. Place a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth over a large bowl or measuring cup. Pour the blended mixture through the sieve to strain out any pulp or seed residue. Use the back of a spoon to press against the sieve to extract as much juice as possible.
4. Discard the pulp and transfer the strained juice to a serving pitcher or glass.
5. Stir in the lemon juice to enhance the flavor.
6. Add ice cubes to the glasses and pour the pomegranate juice over them.
7. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately.
