Pomegranate liqueur from Athens

Method

1. 1Peel the pomegranates in order to use the pomegranate seeds.
2. 2Fill half of the water bottle with the seeds, pour the sugar, close the plastic bottle and mix well. Reopen the bottle and fill it with the rest of the seeds, and then close the bottle very tightly.
3. 3Place the bottle in direct sunlight. After 4 days, refill the bottle with more pomegranate seeds. Keep the bottle closed for around 2 months and stir its contents well in the meanwhile.
4. 4After the 2 months are completed, we strain the contents of the bottle in a bowl covered with tulle. We use the tulle to gather all remain pomegranate seeds and tightly strain out all the juices from them.
5. 5Weight the juice from the pomegranates and pour it in a large glass bottle.
6. 6Measure an equal weight of distilled alcohol suitable for consumption, or vodka or tsipouro (without anise) and add it to the pomegranate juice. Stir well and firmly close the bottle.
