Step by Step guide
Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine water, sugar, thinly sliced ginger, 4 pods of cardamom, 3 star anise, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved. Once boiling, let it simmer for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, use a sharp knife to peel the clementines and slice them into rounds (about 2 cm thick).

Before serving, arrange the clementines in dessert bowls or clear glasses and add the seeds of the fresh pomegranate.
