Ingredients
  • 1  mandarin orange, sliced thin, plus extra for garnish
  • 12 cup pomegranate seeds, plus extra for garnish
  • 8 cups water, divided
Directions
  1. Combine orange, pomegranate seeds, and 1 cup of the water in an 8-cup liquid measuring cup or a large bowl. With a potato masher or a muddler, muddle fruit until broken down and all juice is expressed, about 30 seconds. Stir in 3 cups of the water. Cover and refrigerate until flavors meld and mixture is chilled, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  2. Strain infused water into a pitcher, pressing on solids to extract as much juice as possible. Discard solids. Stir in remaining 4 cups water. Garnish with extra orange and pomegranate seeds. Serve in ice-filled glasses.
