Instructions:

  1. Prepare the pomegranates: Cut each pomegranate in half. Hold one half over a bowl and gently tap the back with a spoon to release the arils (seeds).
  2. Juice the arils: Place the arils in a citrus juicer or electric juicer and extract the juice. If using a manual juicer, press firmly until all liquid is extracted.
  3. Strain (optional): For smooth juice without pulp, strain through a fine mesh strainer. For pulpy juice, skip this step.
  4. Add sweetness: If desired, stir in honey or agave to taste. The natural juice may be tart, so adjust sweetness to preference.
  5. Dilute (optional): Add cold water if you prefer a lighter juice. Fresh pomegranate juice is very concentrated, so dilution is common.
  6. Serve: Pour over ice, garnish with fresh mint if desired, and serve immediately for best freshness and flavor.
Tips & Storage:
• Fresh is best: Drink immediately for maximum nutritional benefits
• Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days
• No juicer? Use a blender: Blend arils with water, then strain through cheesecloth
• Frozen arils work too: Use if fresh pomegranates aren't available
• Sweetness swap: Use stevia, maple syrup, or skip sweetener entirely
• Make ahead: Juice pomegranates and freeze in ice cube trays for smoothies
