Notes
Health tip: One 8oz serving of pomegranate contains about 16% of daily vitamin C and punicalagins (antioxidants). Fresh pomegranate juice requires 3/4 oz of simple syrup added to the mix. Pre-squeezed juice usually has sugar added already. *Health effects of pomegranate juice have not been conclusively shown in humans.
