Ingredients for Pomegranate Juice with Hand Blender
- 4 pomegranates
How to Make Pomegranate Juice with a Hand Blender
Cut off the top of the pomegranates and divide them into 4/5 wedges. Gently spread the wedges and remove the seeds using a spoon or your hands. Alternatively, you can tap the back of a spoon on the peel, and the seeds will fall out on their own.
Gather the pomegranate seeds in a bowl and blend them well. Then, strain the obtained juice with a fine-mesh sieve to separate it from the membranes and impurities.
Pour the pomegranate juice into two glasses or transfer it to a bottle, seal it tightly, and store it in the fridge for 2-3 days.
Storage of Homemade Pomegranate Juice
The pomegranate juice made with the hand blender is best consumed immediately to maintain all its antioxidant properties and fresh flavor. If you have leftovers, you can store it in the fridge for 2-3 days in a tightly sealed glass bottle. Shake it lightly before drinking.
For longer storage, you can also freeze it in small containers or ice cube trays: this way it will last up to 2 months and is perfect to add to smoothies or refreshing drinks.
FAQ
How do I prevent the juice from becoming bitter?
Don’t blend for too long: the hand blender might break the inner white membranes, which are bitter. Pulse and strain immediately.
Does the juice have to be strained?
It is recommended for a smoother drink. If you prefer a more “rustic” texture, you can partially strain it.
Can I sweeten the juice?
Absolutely! Add honey, brown sugar, or agave syrup, but only after straining the juice.
