How to Make Fresh Pomegranate Juice
A friend recently gift me a few pomegranates , which I juiced in anticipation for a cocktail creation .
Of course , you could purchase delicious pomegranate juice for this formula , but you wo n’t get the benefit of the super - fresh , antioxidant - deep , unpasteurised juice .
The fruit might look a slight intimidating to succus , but I assure you that it ’s an easy - to - follow process .

In a little saucepan , combine the beloved , water , and rosemary and institute to a slow furuncle over medium heat . Stir and take from heat .
Allow the mixing to hail to room temperature , permit the rosemary fully steep . Strain off the rosemary sprigs , pour it into a mason shock , and store in the icebox for up to two weeks .
