How to make pomegranate juice?
Making pomegranate juice is not as difficult as you might think. Before you start, make sure the pomegranates you buy are fresh and in perfect condition. The healthy skin of a ripe pomegranate is red or dark red and always smooth and shiny. You can also opt for organic pomegranates if they are available locally.
What you need
- 8 pomegranates
- A knife
- A medium-sized bowl
- water
- A blender
- 2 serving glasses
Instructions for use
Wash pomegranates under running water.
Remove the crown and bottom.
Make slightly deep incisions in the skin from top to bottom, preferably making four or five divisions.
Follow each division to gently remove the skin.
Once the arils have appeared, set the pomegranates aside.
Pour water into a medium-sized bowl.
Take each pomegranate division and break it under water to avoid mess. Separate the arils.
Rinse the arils, pour them into the blender, and blend.
You can either remove the seeds and thick pulp or strain the juice. The latter contains fiber and is more like a smoothie.
Serve chilled.
