Recipe Note
Notes:
Instruction for making your pomegranate ice cubes.
• Freeze square block ice cubes, preferably small ones the night before serving or with enough time to freeze.
• Using a small pestle and mortar, grind 1/2 Tsp. of Sumac until it becomes a nice powder.
• In a small plate combine 2 Tsp. of Pomegranate sugar and the sumac and spread along bottom of plate.
• Remove each ice cube from its tray and quickly wet the top of cube with a bit of water.
