How to Make Crimson Drink
- In a medium saucepan, combine pomegranate juice, sugar, water, and sage leaves.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Reduce heat to low, and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld.
- Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice. (Reserve some lemon peel for garnish.)
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a glass container, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or up to 1 week, to allow the flavors to fully develop.
- **To Serve:** Fill a wine glass or tumbler with ice.
- Add equal parts chilled Crimson Drink and wine (if using).
- Garnish with a fresh sage leaf and a thin strip of lemon peel, if desired.
