Pomegranate liqueur recipe
To prepare the pomegranate liqueur, the starting point is always the same as for all alcoholic preparations. First, let the pomegranate seeds soak in alcohol for about 10 days. Once their color and flavor have been released, they should be filtered and the alcoholic part diluted with a syrup of water and sugar. The liqueur should rest for a couple of weeks before being consumed because all the aromas must mix well. For the proportions, consider two pomegranates per quart of alcohol to then be added to the syrup, which is prepared by dissolving 1 ½ cups of sugar per quart of boiling water.
Small jewel bottles
If you want to gift your homemade liqueur, we suggest you choose particularly elegant glass bottles. You can find some beautiful ones in flea markets or recycle old bottles of liquor or even perfume. Just make sure to sterilize everything with care.
How to clean pomegranate
To prepare a sweet and aromatic liqueur pomegranate seeds, you have to be careful when cleaning the fruit. There should be no white residue inside the alcohol at the time of maceration, so when peeling the pomegranate, remove the seeds carefully. A trick to make only the seeds come out of the rind is to cut the pomegranate in half and then beat the back with a spoon.
