Ice Cream Base
- 2 cups pomegranate juice
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- A pinch of salt

- Churn: Pour the prepared mixture into your ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to churn the mixture until it achieves a soft serve consistency, which usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
- Freeze: Transfer the churned ice cream into a suitable airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm to develop the proper texture.

Notes
- Use fresh pomegranate juice for the best flavor and natural tartness.
- If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can pour the mixture into a shallow dish, freeze, and stir every 30 minutes until frozen.
- Adding lemon juice enhances the brightness of the pomegranate flavor.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of sweetened condensed milk according to taste.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use a plant-based condensed milk.
