Pomegranate tea or Immunity Booster

Pomegranate Fruit Tea

Summer is the time we crave more for cool drinks and juices but this tea is worth more than a cool drink. Pomegranate tea is packed with loads of antioxidants, helps in boosting your immunity,  fights inflammation, gives glowing skin and lower blood pressure. The best thing about this tea is that it includes whole seeds and nothing is discarded and the addition of black tea gives more health quotient. If you do not like black or any other such tea just add only water to the pomegranate crush. Its very easy to make and once the base is prepared you can store it in refrigerator and use for one month, you can have it hot or cold. 

The important step in preparation of this tea is that the pomegranate seeds should be crushed in such a manner that almost 80% of the juice comes out of the seeds and little pulp should remain on the seeds so that it tastes good when we bite on some seeds while drinking the tea. Use a pestle to crush the seeds, using a grinder or blender will crush and cut the seeds into small pieces which is not welcoming to have while drinking a tea. If you do not have a pestle, try crushing the seeds with backside of a heavy glass this will also give the same result.

This tea includes addition of sugar so if you are not a sweet tooth or a health conscious person try replacing the sugar with honey, brown sugar or jaggery as well. So lets see the detailed process of making pomegranate tea
