Pomegranate Juice

Ingredients

• 2 cups pomegranate seeds (arils)
• 1 tsp sugar (optional)
• A pinch of black salt
• Ice cubes

Method

1. Blend the pomegranate seeds briefly — just enough to release the juice without crushing the seeds too finely, since over-blending can make the juice slightly bitter.
2. Strain through a fine sieve, pressing well to extract as much juice as possible.
3. Stir in sugar and black salt if desired.
4. Taste and adjust sweetness.
5. Pour over ice and serve immediately.
