Bowl

Ingredients

2 ripe pomegranates
1 tbsp honey optional, for added sweetness
Ice cubes optional, for serving

Instructions

Prepare the Pomegranates: Cut the pomegranates in half. Hold one half over a bowl and gently tap the back with a spoon to release the seeds. Repeat with the other half. Remove any white membrane pieces that may have fallen in.
Blend the Seeds: Place the pomegranate seeds in a blender and blend on high until smooth.
Strain the Juice: Pour the blended pomegranate mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a bowl or jug to remove the pulp. Use a spoon to press down on the pulp to extract as much juice as possible.
Sweeten (Optional): Stir in honey if you prefer a sweeter juice. Mix until the honey is fully dissolved.
Serve: Pour the freshly extracted pomegranate juice into glasses over ice cubes, if desired. Enjoy immediately for the best taste and nutritional benefits.

Pro Tip

To deseed a pomegranate quickly, cut it in half, hold it cut-side down over a bowl, and whack the back firmly with a wooden spoon. The seeds fall right out with minimal mess and effort.

Serving Suggestions & Storage

How to Serve

Drink chilled over ice for a refreshing antioxidant boost. Mix with sparkling water and a squeeze of lime for a stunning pomegranate spritzer. Add to smoothies or drizzle over yogurt bowls for extra color and nutrition.

How to Store

Fresh pomegranate juice stores in a sealed glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 5 days — it holds up better than most fresh juices. Freeze in ice cube trays for up to 3 months.
