wATCH HOW TO MAKE THIS JUICE:
Tips for Making The Best Pomegranate Juice!
- Buy fresh pomegranate; you could probably use frozen pomegranate seeds to make this recipe, but I have never tried it, so I don’t know if you will get the same result. To make this pomegranate juice recipe, I always buy fresh and big pomegranates.
- Use very ripe pomegranates: relatively, use ripe pomegranates, and by that, I mean the deep red colored pomegranate seeds. 2020 was the year I wanted to visit a pomegranate orchard; guess what? It didn’t happen because of COVID restrictions. Nevertheless, I am grateful that there are still abundant pomegranates to buy in stores from my local grocery.
- For best result, use this pomegranate juice fresh after making it and before its oxides. I do not recommend saving pomegranate juice in the fridge for days; drink it all within the first day!

Equipment for Pomegranate Juice Recipe.
The equipment you will need to make this pomegranate juice recipe is a blender, a colander (sieve), and a spoon. In reality, you will not need any special equipment for this recipe.
Can I make Pomegranate Juice without Water?
Yes, you can make pomegranate juice without water because you do not really need water. To make pomegranate juice without water, follow the same process but without water. You may choose to dilute with ice cubes, water, or spritzer before drinking.
On the other hand, I like adding water to my pomegranate juice recipe because it helps me extract all the juice. Second, I would rather add water before juicing it than after the fact. Finally, I want it to be a little diluted. If you plan to make pomegranate juice without water, there may be no need to add honey.
