Pomegranate is one among the healthiest fruits on earth. It is completely loaded with nutrients like fiber, potassium, folate, vit C, vit K and proteins. It has anti-cancer properties, protects against heart diseases, guards memory and brain function and it is a great fertility boosting super food.

Taking pomegranates atleast twice in a week is very good for health. But most of us may not like to eat the seeds as it is a lazy job.. Whenever i eat the pomegranate seeds, i usually leave some without eating and it straightly goes to bin. So, drinking it as juice is the best way of taking all the nutrients without wasting. Lets see how to prepare pomegranate juice.

Since this is a very simple preparation, I didn’t add step by step photos.

INGREDIENTS:

1 big sized pomegranate (maathulam pazham in Tamil)

2 tablespoons honey (or sugar)

Few ice cubes

INSTRUCTIONS:

Shallow cut the pomegranate’s outer skin on four sides and break it.

Remove the pomegranate seeds (I got 1 full cup of seeds).

Take the seeds in  a blender and add ½ cup of water. Blend it for few seconds and strain it using a mesh strainer. Press the remaining pulp tightly using the back of a laddle, to extract the juice as much as possible.

Add honey to the strained juice and mix.

Pour the juice to a serving glass, add ice cubes and serve chilled.
