• Press on the pomegranates with a clean unused boot. In this way, you can extract the juice.
• The other method you can use to extract the juice from the pomegranates is to use a food processor.
• After straining the pomegranate juice, put it in a large saucepan. Boil the pomegranates in the pot for about 3-4 hours.
