Instructions

Infuse and Mix Juices

Start by squeezing fresh lime juice into a glass container and add a slice of onion. Let it sit for about 20 to 30 minutes so the flavors can meld together. Once it’s ready, take out the onion and toss it. Next, mix in the orange juice, a few dashes of hot sauce, and a pinch of salt into the lime juice. Give everything a good stir. Finally, pour in the pomegranate juice and stir again until everything is well combined. Enjoy!
