Total time: 20 min
Yield: 1 cup (250 ml)
Ingredients: ¾ cup (180 ml) water; 1 cup (170 g) pomegranate seeds (see note); ¾ cup (160 g) sugar; ¼ tsp ground anise seeds

Ingredients

¾ cup (180 ml) water
1 cup (170 g) pomegranate seeds (see note)
¾ cup (160 g) sugar
¼ tsp ground anise seeds

Preparation

In a small pot, bring all of the ingredients to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Using a cocktail muddler, crush the pomegranate seeds to extract as much juice as possible. Bring to a boil again. Simmer for 5 minutes. Place a sieve over an airtight container and strain the syrup. Compost the pomegranate seeds. Let the syrup cool. Cover and refrigerate. The syrup will keep for 3 weeks in the refrigerator.

Note from Ricardo

The pomegranate seeds can be replaced with ¼ cup (60 ml) pomegranate juice. In this case, simmer the syrup for 5 minutes total.

This syrup is also great for flavouring mocktails and can be used to soak cakes.
