Total Time 45 minutes

Servings 1 cup

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups Unsweetened Pomegranate Juice
• 1 1/2 cup Cane Sugar
• 12 drops Orange Flower Water
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• splash Everclear optional

Instructions

• Add one cup of pomegranate juice and 1/4 cup of the sugar to a small saucepan.
• Simmer on medium-low until it reduces to about 1/3 of its' original volume and is thick and brown (see images above).
• Add the rest of the sugar and pomegranate juice, as well as the salt and orange flower water.
• Cook on low just until all the sugar is dissolved and the remove from heat.
• Once cooled, pour into a bottle for storing in the fridge. Add about 1/2 of Everclear to help preserve if you'd like.

Notes

Whenever you make a syrup you can help preserve it a little longer by putting in some neutral high proof spirit like Everclear or a strong vodka.

Also remember that orange flower water is extremely powerful and you only want to use it to highlight the fruitiness of the syrup, not make it taste like oranges.

Store it in the fridge for up to 2 weeks
