Need a little refreshment? How about this homemade pomegranate iced tea? It's a healthier alternative to most store-bought brands and tastes so fresh, fruity and delicious!<\/em><\/p>\n Thursday will be the official beginning of summer. And depending where you live you might already be dealing with the summer heat. Always remember to stay hydrated! And if you don't feel like drinking water all day, I've got something refreshing coming your way: Homemade pomegranate iced tea! Don't worry, this recipe is not loaded with sugar but is more on the healthier side.\u00a0<\/p>\n The main ingredient of this pomegranate iced tea is tea of course. Black tea,<\/strong> to be precise. I used Darjeeling tea. Cook a bit more than listed below cause you may loose some due to evaporation.<\/p>\n Once the tea has cooled down, you can add the remaining ingredients. I kind of liked the idea of adding pomegranate juice and it's an interesting twist on the \"traditional\" lemon or peach-flavoured iced tea. Make sure you buy pomegranate juice without any additives <\/strong>like sugar.<\/p>\n To add that hint of freshness and a dose of vitamin, I added freshly squeezed lemon juice<\/strong>. As a sweetener I opted for agave syrup. I also tried this recipe using maple syrup, but preferred the more neutral tasting agave. If you go for maple syrup, start with a little less and test whether you like it. Or you can use a completely different sweetener.<\/p>\n If you give this pomegranate iced tea a try, let me know in the comments below. And don\u2019t forget to rate the recipe.
