How to Make Pomegranate Ice Cubes

Score 1 fresh pomegranate and submerge it in a bowl of water.
Gently break open the pomegranate underwater to release the seeds. The seeds will sink, and the membrane will float to the top.
Strain the water, reserving the pomegranate seeds in a separate bowl.
Measure out 1/2 cup (approximately 70g) of pomegranate seeds and set aside. (OR: Use 1/2 cup of pre-packaged pomegranate seeds).
Fill two ice cube trays almost to the top with water.
Place the trays in the freezer for about 60 minutes, or until the cubes are partially frozen.
Remove the trays from the freezer.
Evenly distribute the 1/2 cup of pomegranate seeds among the ice cube compartments.
Return the trays to the freezer until the cubes are completely frozen solid (approximately 135 minutes).
Serve your pomegranate ice cubes with your favorite beverage!
