The base of this tea can be store-bought juice, but making your own is even better, as it won't contain preservatives. It's not easy to extract pomegranate seeds, but a surefire trick is to chop the pomegranate and place it in water. The seeds will then sink to the bottom, leaving the skin to float.
Remove the peel and place the seeds in a blender and blend. Avoid splashing, as pomegranates stain.
Place the seeds and pulp in a colander or cheesecloth, squeeze until all the juice is extracted, and place it in a pitcher.
Next, prepare the tea. Black or green tea pair best with pomegranate. Peppermint or chamomile tea is also suitable. Boil 100 ml of water and pour it over the tea. Let it steep for 15 minutes. Strain.
Then add the pomegranate juice to the tea and sweetener to taste.
