  1. Pour the lemon juice, water and sugar in a large pitcher and stir to dissolve the sugar, whisk to combine ingredients. Add ice and lemon slices for garnish. Time for the ice spheres!
  2. In each ice mold, add a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds to cover the bottom of the mold.
  3. Pour in lemonade to the fill line and freeze for at least 2 hours (preferably overnight).
  4. Before taking the ice spheres out of the mold, let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes in order to easily remove.
