Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • Seeds of two pomegranatesÂ
  • 1 tbsn Brown Sugar or Honey
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • A bunch of fresh Mint leaves
  • Some Lemon wedges
  • 1-2 cup Soda/Carbonated water
  • Some Ice-cubes
  • Some granulated sugar spread out in the plate (for coating the rim)

Instruction

  • Preserve 2 tablespoons of pomegranate seeds in a dry bowl and set aside.
  • In a blender, blend together the remaining pomegranate seeds, lime juice, sugar/honey, and Soda to a smooth mix.
  • Sieve and discard the solids. Set aside the sieved liquid.
  • In a mortar, crush some mint leaves and lemon wedges to a coarse texture.
  • In a large jug, throw in your crushed mint leaves and lemon wedges. Also throw in the ice-cubes.
  • Pour in your blended pomegranate liquid on top of them.
  • Adjust the sweetness of sugar/honey according to your own preference and mix everything together. Set aside.
  • Take the bowl containing the loose pomegranate seeds that we had saved, and with a spoon, crush them until they ooze out their juice. Preserve the juice and throwaway the seeds.
  • Take a glass and inverting it, dip the rim in the pomegranate juice in the bowl, from the above step.
  • Immediately, dip the rim in the sugar spread out in the plate so that it coats the juice entirely, giving the rim an attractive coating of sugar all over.
  • Pour your Mocktail in the glasses and add some more torn mint leaves and a lemon wedge in each glass for additional flavor.
  • Serve immediately and Enjoy!
