Pomegranate Arils Extraction Trick

When did you hear about New Year and New You? It has become a game-changer to me. How I extract arils from pomegranates, has just been changed by an article I came across. All the same, although I have heard of this method of cutting the fruit into halves and banging it with a wooden spoon for some time now, I thought it was illogical.

However, after viewing this clip, I decided to do so and the result was fabulous! In my entire life, never have I ever opened up a pomegranate so fast. Just try it out yourself. Moreover, henceforth there are going to be more regular purchases of pomegranates and the freezer no longer become their home till they spoil entirely since the process will not bore us.

This is a splendid thing.

Making Pomegranate Ice Cubes

• Start pouring pomegranate arils into giant ice cube molds.
• Each mold should be filled with water until it reaches the bottom.
• Let them freeze overnight in their molds.
• The frozen ones are good-looking ice cubes that make your drink full of pomegranate flavor.
• For an interesting twist before freezing throw in a sprig of rosemary.
• This will enhance your drink’s look while giving it an invigorating burst of taste every time you sip on it.

Make a Rosemary Simple Syrup

To make a rosemary simple syrup for your pomegranate cocktail, start by combining water and sugar in a medium saucepan. For each cup of water, use about one cup of sugar. Boil this mixture on medium heat stirring occasionally until the sugar completely melts. Now, you can add some sprigs of rosemary to it and let the mixture simmer for about ten minutes.

The syrup will slightly thicken as it simmers and take on a subtle rosemary aroma. At that point remove the pot from the stove and wait until it cools off before putting it into a jar or bowl to be kept after cooling. It’s what you need to give an aromatic and vegetatively spicy taste to your pomegranate cocktails all over the year.

How to Prepare Pomegranate and Gin Mixed with Rosemary

For a cool Friday evening refreshment, go for this pomegranate gin cocktail which has a hint of rosemary. The first step is to stuff ice cubes into a large cocktail shaker and then pour in pomegranate juice which should be around 2 ounces per serving. To offset the sourness, add simple syrup and garnish with one sprig of rosemary.

Keep shaking it until the mixture gets cold. Pour out the mixture through a strainer into a glass full of ice and top it up using soda water so that it becomes fizzy. On top of each drink sprinkle some pomegranates’ seeds and place one more sprig of rosemary on the rim before serving or drinking. While doing your tasks or even after reaching your house after spending hours waiting due to a delayed train enjoy this goodness. This indulgence will kindle some New Year cheer and fun while ensuring you include antioxidants throughout your week’s course.
