The antioxidant properties of pomegranates are well known, but the molasses made from them, a staple of middle eastern cooking, is less so. Pomegranate molasses has a tart-sweet quality that I found really helpful during...

It can be used to flavor salad dressings, meats, and vegetables, and as we are doing here, for a refreshing drink. If you like fizz, make this Pomegranate Water with club soda or sparkling mineral water instead.

1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses, or to taste
1 quart filtered water

Chef Tips

There is one caveat with Pomegranate molasses: its flavor is concentrated and quite intense, so a little goes a long way. I enjoy the way a little gives water a little tart bite, my husband likes more of it in his drink, so that it’s more pomegranate-y. It’s up to you. My advice? Start with a little and add more to see how you like it.

For a hot drink, just stir the pomegranate molasses into almost boiling hot water.
