Orange Pomegranate Juice

My family has been passing a cold around for a month, an I am really trying to keep my almost-one-year-old healthy, especially since the last time he got this cold, it settled in his chest and lingered for weeks. He loves pomegranates, and oranges, so when my aunt suggested pomegranatte juice, I got an idea. I don't have a juicer, but I do have a blender and a tea strainer. Using these items, I made my son some fresh-squeezed juice loaded with vitamin C.

What you need:
1 pomegranate
2-3 cutie oranges
1/2 cup white grape or apple juice
blender
tea strainer
cup to strain juice into
a spoon

Pull apart pomegranate and put the seeds into blender. Peel the oranges and add the wedges to the pomegranate. Pour the white grape or apple juice in the blender. Cover and blend until ther are no large pieces, about 30 seconds. Place tea strainer over cup and pour fruit mixture into it in small amounts at a time, raking with the spoon to squeeze all the juice out. Empty the pulp and seeds from the strainer into the trash as needed. For me, this made about 12 ounces of juice.
