- 2 large pomegranates yields about 1½ to 2 cups of juice
- ½ cup cold water optional, for blending
- 1/2 –1 tsp sugar or honey optional, to taste
- A pinch of salt or a few drops of lemon juice optional, for enhanced flavor
Slice the pomegranates in half. Tap the back with a spoon or use your hands to extract the seeds into a bowl.
Add the seeds to a blender. Blend for 10–15 seconds just until the seeds are broken and the juice is released.
Pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a bowl. Press with a spoon to extract all the juice.
Chill or serve immediately over ice. Add a dash of lemon juice or sweetener if desired.
- Use ripe, heavy pomegranates—they’re juicier.
- For a smoother taste, chill the juice before serving.
- Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for longer shelf life.
- Great as a base for cocktails, smoothies, or salad dressings.
