I made this mouth watering lemonade drink using Pomegranate a few days back. While roaming in the fruit section of my local supermarket I saw these fresh pomegranates selling like a hot cake. They were so fresh that a lot of people where buying them. I also bought a handful stock of fresh pomegranate without any idea of what will I make with them :)
While coming back home with too many pomegranate then I usually buy I thought lets make some drinks out of these. A welcome drink with tangy sweet taste. And hence this recipe. Its a simple drink of Pomegranate lemon with club soda. Recently I also made a welcome drink using Guava which got highlighted in many facebook food communities. Check out the Guava welcome drink here.
How to remove the seeds easily from pomegranate
Before you start making this drink the most tedious task is to remove the seeds from pomegranate. I’ll give you a quick tip to make life easy while de-seeding the pomegranate. Just cut the pomegranate into halves and then take a bowl full of water. Submerge the pomegranate in water and de-seed in it. By doing so all the white piece of the pomegranate will float on top and the seeds will stay down. This way you can easily separate pomegranate seeds from the annoying white part.
What to do with left over juice
