Pomegranate Syrup Recipe

Simple syrup is dressed up with the addition of pomegranate juice, orange peel strips, and a cinnamon stick. The preparation is as easy and straightforward as a classic simple syrup. Youll start by stirring together sugar, water, and pomegranate juice. Add the orange peel and cinnamon stick before bringing the mixture to a simmer in a small saucepan. Let it cook for about 15 minutes. The mixture should become syrupy. Youll want to allow plenty of time for the syrup to cool completelyprobably around 30 minutes. Discard the orange peel strips and the cinnamon stick before using in delicious yogurt pound cake. Yogurt pound cake isnt your typical pound cake. Greek yogurt is used to give the batter a little zip. The cake is soaked in a beautifully fragrant lemon-cardamom liquid before being served with this flavorful pomegranate syrup. The cake serves 12, making it the perfect sweet ending for a dinner party. We recommend serving the pomegranate syrup and whipped cream on the side so that guests can add each if they desire.
