Three Pomegranate Drinks

However it’s done, getting the juice out of pomegranates is fiddly work because the delicious light pink to deep ruby seeds are tightly enclosed in astringent membrane and pith. First put on an apron or an old shirt. According to Chez Panisse Fruits, the way to get the sweetest juice is to split or quarter the fruit with a sharp knife and submerge the pieces in a bowl of cold water, using your hands to separate the seeds from the membrane and pith. The seeds will settle to the bottom and bits of membrane will float to the top, where you scoop them away. Drain the seeds and buzz them briefly in a blender or food processor. Press the pulp through a stainless steel or nylon strainer.
