Ingredients

  • ½ cup pomegranate seeds
  • ½ inch fresh ginger more to taste
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon honey optional, to taste

Instructions

  • Roughly chop your ginger, and peel off the rough skin. Add to a pot with the water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and then steep the ginger on a very low simmer for 4-5 minutes.
  • In a sieve placed over a jug (easier than a bowl), press down on the pomegranate seeds to release the juices. If your pomegranate seeds aren't very juicy whizz in a blender for a few seconds. Discard the seeds in the sieve.
  • Pour the ginger water through the sieve into the jug with the pomegranate juice. Then pour into your glasses.

Notes

  • Adjust the quantity of ginger to personal taste. Some like it very 'spicy' others just a gentle hum of heat.
  • The honey is optional. Pomegranate already has a sweetness, but you can always add a touch of honey if you have a sweet tooth.
  • Please note that nutritional information is offered as a courtesy. It is auto-generated and should be understood to be an estimate.
