A glass of freshly extracted deep-red pomegranate juice is one of the most refreshing drinks and a treasure trove of health benefits. Pomegranate has anti-oxidant, anti-viral, and anti-tumour properties and is said to be a good source of vitamins, especially vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin E, as well as folic acid. This amazing fruit consists of three times as many antioxidants as both wine or green tea.

Preparation
Prep: 10 minutes

USEFUL TIPS
Don’t store the juice to use later. This will result in oxidation and start diminishing the nutritional value of the juice. Make the juice only when ready to serve. If you wish to serve chilled, add chilled water instead of regular water. Additionally, you could replace the water with 2 cubes of ice instead. Adding sugar is optional, however, any fresh juice is best consumed with its natural sugars.
