Pomegranate Slush

Pomegranate Slush

Total time needed:  8-10 minutes

Ingredients

1 – 1½ cups (250 ml – 375 ml) fresh pomegranate seeds

2 cups ice (2 x 250 ml)

¼ – ½ cup (125 ml) simple syrup (adjust according to taste)

1 small lemon

Pinch of salt

Method

Place all the ingredients in a blender except the lemon.  Use the pulse action and blitz a few times until the ice breaks down.  Pour into a serving glass followed by a good squeeze of lemon juice.  Stir and enjoy.

To make a simple syrup you will need equal parts of sugar and water and bring to a boil just until the sugar dissolves (do not let it crystallise) let it cool before adding to the slush.  There are times when I’m in a hurry and just mix ¼ cup white sugar with ½ cup water and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
