Instructions

Preparation

  1. Rinse 2 medium to large pomegranate. Slice off the top part thinly.
  2. Then cut each pomegranate in 4 parts.
  3. Take a bowl of water and place the chopped pomegranates in it.
  4. Keep the pomegranates immersed in water and with your fingers remove the pomegranate seeds (arils).
  5. The seeds settle down and the white pith floats on top. Remove the pith and discard them.
  6. Drain all the water using a strainer.

Making pomegranate juice in a blender

  1. Add the pomegranate arils in a blender, grinder or mixer jar. Blend well.
  2. Keep in mind that blending and crushing the seeds finely will give a gritty texture in the juice, which later you can strain using a fine mesh strainer. Alternatively you can simply crush the seeds slightly by using the pulse option in the blender or mixer, and extract the juice.
  3. Take a pan or bowl and keep a juice strainer on it. Now pour the pomegranate juice in a fine mesh strainer.
  4. Using a spoon and stirring it often, extract the juice. Press well so that all juice is extracted
  5. Pour the juice in glasses and serve pomegranate juice.
  6. If the juice is too strong for you, mix in some water or some other preferred juice, as needed.

Juicing Pomegranate in an electric juicer or slow juicer

  1. Prep the pomegranates as listed above. Set aside the arils.
  2. In a slow juicer or electric juicer, add the pomegranate arils in the feeder tube and extract the juice.

Notes

  • Make ahead: According to Ayurveda, it is best to consume fruit juices when they are at peak freshness. This preserves the nutritional quality of the juice the best. That said, any leftovers can be kept in your refrigerator for up to 1 day.
  • Prep ahead: You can opt to remove the arils and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days before blending. You can also freeze them in an airtight container for up to 1 to 2 weeks.
  • Leftovers: You can freeze any leftover juice into popsicles or even into ice cube trays. The pops make for a healthy sweet treat that helps fend off the heat, and the ice cubes are a beautiful and delicious addition to mineral water or sparkling water.
  • You can also go in a completely different direction and simmer the pomegranate juice down until it is thick and syrupy.
  • The pomegranate syrup can then be used as a sweetener for desserts or drinks, or drizzled over pancakes, ice cream or pudding. Pomegranate syrup should keep for up to about a week in the refrigerator.
