Directions
- Combine orange, pomegranate seeds, and 1 cup of the water in an 8-cup liquid measuring cup or a large bowl. With a potato masher or a muddler, muddle fruit until broken down and all juice is expressed, about 30 seconds. Stir in 3 cups of the water. Cover and refrigerate until flavors meld and mixture is chilled, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Strain infused water into a pitcher, pressing on solids to extract as much juice as possible. Discard solids. Stir in remaining 4 cups water. Garnish with extra orange and pomegranate seeds. Serve in ice-filled glasses.
Notes
- Water can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 day; garnish with extra orange and pomegranate seeds just before serving.
