I have found pomegranate molasses in farmers markets as well as Indian markets.

It is very inexpensive compared to pomegranate juice,

and can be added to green tea or mineral water,

as well as other recipes. It's great drizzled on fruit.

Once you find it, which is the hard part, try experimenting with it in your recipes,

mix with water or apple juice for you and the kids, a better cool ade.
