What can beat Pomegranate, an an all time favorite of mine? I’ve been playing with the idea of making an ice cream or a sorbet, for some weird reason haven’t been able to find much of my favorite fruit in the markets. Even went to an extent of Buying a bottle of POM, hmm… inference = can’t beat the freshness. So here we are trying my hands on making a strange concoction which delivered well. Many people don’t get Ice Tea, never mind these blokes, I love ice tea. Nothing is better than a chilled can of Arnold palmer (Half Lemonade / half Ice Tea) on a warm & humid summer day.
