1. If using fresh pomegranate, blend the seeds and strain to get juice
2. Wash the mint leaves
3. Blend pomegranate juice and mint until combined
4. Add lime juice if using
5. Pour into ice cube trays

Why this works

No cooking, pure elegance. The pomegranate creates a stunning deep red color and the mint adds freshness. Drop a cube into sparkling water for a jewel-toned drink, or add to champagne for celebrations.
