Ingredients

• 2 cups Pomegranate juice
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Orange blossom water (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the pomegranate juice and granulated sugar.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir occasionally until the sugar completely dissolves.

Step 3

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer (not a boil) and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the liquid slightly thickens. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lemon juice and orange blossom water (if using).

Step 5

Allow the grenadine to cool to room temperature. It will thicken further as it cools.

Step 6

Once cooled, transfer the grenadine to an airtight glass bottle or jar and store it in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.

Step 7

Shake or stir before using in cocktails, mocktails, or as a flavorful addition to desserts.
