- Cut the top (crown) and bottom of the pomegranates off.
- Cut an X on the top of the fruit. Then, break it apart into four sections. We don't want to cut through the seeds. Otherwise, we will lose precious juice.
- Remove the seeds (arils) from the fruit. Don't add any of the white pieces around the seeds (mesocarp and epicarp). Discard the white pith.
- Place the seeds into a blender as you finish removing them. Do so with all of the pomegranate sections.
Make the juice
- Cut the lemon into two and get as much juice out of each half as you possibly can. Place the juice in the blender with the pomegranate seeds.
- Add the peeled and minced fresh ginger.
- Give the ingredients a couple of pulses. This will help break up the seeds to release the pomegranate juice. It simultaneously helps blend the different flavors together.
- Strain the juice through a fine-mesh sieve. This will catch the loose seeds.
- Serve the juice immediately.

Consume the juice before it starts oxidizing. Having a cup of homemade pomegranate juice every day will keep you fit, healthy, and energetic throughout the year.
