Pomegranate Low Glow

Pomegranate gives this warm cup a tart, deep-fruit character, while cinnamon adds a softer spice aroma. Water keeps the juice from becoming too concentrated. Stir the cinnamon through the juice and hot water, then taste once it’s comfortable to sip. Ground spice may settle, so a gentle stir helps. This is more lively than a creamy evening drink, with the pomegranate’s slightly drying finish remaining part of its appeal.

Ingredients

• 6 oz Hot water
• 2 oz Pomegranate juice
• 1/8 tsp Ground cinnamon

Make it

1. Add the tea or fruit and spices to a heatproof mug or small saucepan.
2. Pour in the hot water. Steep tea for the time on its packet, or gently simmer fruit for 3–5 minutes.
3. Remove tea bags. Strain if you prefer, add any optional sweetener, and sip while comfortably warm.
