Ingredients

• 4 large pomegranates (about 6 cups pomegranate seeds)
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 cups cold water
• Ice cubes, for serving
• Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)
• Pomegranate seeds, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Begin by seeding the pomegranates. Slice each fruit in half and gently tap the back with a wooden spoon over a bowl to release the seeds. Ensure no white membrane gets into the bowl.
2. Add the pomegranate seeds to a blender. Blend on high until the seeds are thoroughly crushed, yielding a vibrant, magenta juice.
3. Place a fine mesh strainer over a large pitcher and pour the blended pomegranate mixture through it. Use a spoon to press down and extract as much juice as possible, leaving the pulp and seeds behind.
4. Add the honey to the pomegranate juice and stir until fully dissolved. You’ll notice the rich, golden notes of honey balancing the tartness of the pomegranate perfectly.
5. Stir in the cold water, mixing until well combined. Taste and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if desired.
6. Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the pomegranate honey juice over the ice. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds for an extra touch of elegance.

Helpful Tips and Variations

• For a quick version, use store-bought pomegranate juice and adjust the amount of honey to taste.
• Serve in a chilled glass for extra refreshment, especially on a hot day.
• For a festive flair, gently stir in a splash of sparkling water before serving.
• Replace honey with agave syrup or maple syrup for a different twist on sweetness.

Storage and Substitutions

Refrigerate any leftover pomegranate honey juice in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Give it a good stir before serving as the ingredients may separate.

Substitute honey with agave syrup or maple syrup for vegans, and enhance the drink with a splash of lemon or lime juice for an added citrusy kick!

Pairings and Complements

This refreshing juice pairs wonderfully with light snacks like cucumber sandwiches, a cheese platter, or even a selection of fresh, colorful fruit salads. For a perfect treat, enjoy with buttery scones or a slice of almond cake.
