Notes
Spiced grenadine
In a pot over medium-high heat, toast 3 cinnamon sticks, 6 cloves, and 3 allspice berries until they become aromatic, stirring constantly so the spices don't burn. Add 1½ cups pomegranate juice. Increase heat to high and bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and add 1¼ cup turbinado sugar, stirring to dissolve. Strain mixture through a fine-mesh strainer. Keeps refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
