Ingredients + Notes

Three simple ingredients make this pomegranate water oh-so-refreshing.

Glass bottles, a jar with pomegranate arils, sliced lemons, whole lemons, and mint leaves are arranged on a dark surface with a tiled background.
  • Pomegranate: Did you know that pomegranate’s ruby-colored seeds are also called arils? They are the star of this recipe and pack a flavorful punch.
