Instructions
1
✓
Pour juices (orange, pomegranate, apple) into saucepan.
Tip: Apple cider serves as sweetener and thinner here, because pomegranate alone would be too concentrated and tart.

Tip: Pomegranate color can be heat-sensitive, don't boil too hard to keep it nice red.
3
✓
Remove from heat, let stand 5 minutes.
Tip: This rest allows spice flavors to round out.
4
✓
Strain into glasses. Put an orange slice and sprinkle fresh pomegranate seeds into each glass.
