Homemade Pomegranate Simple Syrup

Making your own flavored simple syrups to use in cocktails is so easy that it will make you think twice about buying a mass produced bottle from the store. Beyond how easy it is, what I like most is that it only has three ingredients -- water, sugar and fruit.

No artificial anything! 

I like to put several teaspoons in sparkling white wine, champagne or rum.

by Michelle Maskaly, The Adirondack Chick


2 cups  fresh pomegranate seeds
1 cup water
1 cup sugar

Combine all the pomegranate seeds, water and sugar in a medium pot, stir and bring to a boil. Stir, reduce heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes.

Remove from heat and pour the fruit and liquid into a strainer over a large bowl. Discard the seeds and let the syrup cool.

Store in a sealed container or pour into ice cube trays to use in various drinks.
