Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Roll the pomegranates on a countertop to soften. Halve them crosswise and hold them, cut side down, over a medium saucepan, hitting the backsides until all the seeds have been released. Add the lime juice, brown sugar, rum, 10 pieces of star anise, cinnamon, mulling spices and 3 of the sliced figs. Bring to a boil and simmer 7 minutes. Add the wine and let it rest, covered, 10 minutes. Serve warm, strained or not, in small mugs garnished with a fig slice and a piece of star anise.

Why does the picture show a drink with fizz? There's nothing with bubbles in the recipe.

The punch is good, but the written recipe’s proportions are crazy. Try 1 pomegranate, juice of 1 lime, 1 cup rum, and 4 pieces star anise. The 10 pieces overpowered the punch.

The photo is from the recipe for Christmas spritz, which is Prosecco and pomegranate juice. https://body-change.today/recipes/1015798-christmas-spritz%3C/a%3E
