3/4 cup superfine sugar
5 cup water
1 tsp grenadine
Cooking Instructions:
Combine all ingredients in a pitcher, and serve over ice. This recipe yields 6 cups. Comments: Grenadine is a sweet, thick pomegranate-flavored syrup, grenadine is used as a coloring and flavoring agent in numerous drinks and desserts. So named because, at one time, only pomegranates from Grenada were used to make the syrup, grenadine can easily be found at most grocery stores. Remember, however, that some grenadines contain alcohol, so be sure to check the label before adding it to the mix.
