Notes
TIPS:
- To juice a pomegranate, cut open the pomegranate and remove the seeds which contain the juice. Once you have the seeds, simply whizz them in a blender or food processor and then put them through a sieve to extract the juice
- You can use citric acid instead of tartaric acid, but keep in mind that while both are used as preservers, tartaric acid has a sharper and more biting sour taste, while citric acid has a refreshing and fruity sour taste.
