Pomegranate Flavored White Rum
- 3 Pomegranates
- 1 large White rum
- 100 grams Crystal rock sugar
- 2 Lemon
- Remove the seeds of the pomegranate carefully without crushing them.
- Rinse them while picking away anything that's not a seed and dry well.
- Peel the lemons and cut into 2-4 equal pieces.
- (This time I steeped everything in a bottle with quite a narrow neck so cut the lemons into eighths.)
- Add the pomegranate seeds and the lemon to a bottle and then sprinkle the crystal rock sugar over the top.
- Finally pour in the white rum.
- This time I used an empty bottle that used to be filled with dark rum so I didn't have to sterilize it.
- However, make sure you usually sterilize the container that you're going to steep everything in, either with alcohol or boiling water.
- Remove the fruit after 2-3 months.
- I took a photo after 3 weeks had passed (4th Nov.).
- It's become such a cute pink colour, though in time the red colour will probably fade.
- I took the fruit out in Feb. 2007 and am leaving it to mature.
- The flavour doesn't really stand out so much but it has a gentle tartness to it.
- This alcohol isn't so sweet so you can look forward to drinking it straight.
- The colour has faded from a pink to a light brown here.
