Pomegranate and green tea sangria recipe

Pomegranate and green tea sangria features one of the best and most underrated flavour combinations. The pomegranate cordial is such a refreshing addition to an icy sangria, but it’s just as nice when served plain over ice with still or sparkling water.

Instructions

1

For the cordial, combine the teabags and boiling water, and allow to steep for 5 minutes. Strain and add the liquid to a saucepan together with the sugar and lemon juice.

2

Blitz the pomegranate rubies in a blender and strain the juice into the saucepan with the water mixture over medium heat. Gently bring to a simmer and stir until the sugar has dissolved. When the sugar has dissolved, allow it to boil for 5 more minutes and then leave to cool.

Notes

Cook's tip: The cordial recipe makes more than is needed for the sangria. Store the leftover cordial in the fridge for up to 1 month. Mix 1 part cordial with 4 parts still or sparkling water.
