Chef Tips

There is one caveat with Pomegranate molasses: its flavor is concentrated and quite intense, so a little goes a long way. A little gives the water a tart bite, while more of it will make your drink taste more pomegranate-y. How much you use is up to you. Start with a little, then add more to see how you like it.

For a hot drink, just stir the pomegranate molasses into almost boiling hot water.
