The recipe calls for 2-4 tbsp sugar depending on berries sweetness. My berries were rather tart, so i added 3 tbsp. This was a mistake. I should have added only 1 or 2 tbsp. The pomegranate juice, milk, and especially vanilla ice cream are sweet enough. I did cook the berries for a minute on the stove just as it called for, which i think helped the taste. The shake turned out a little runny, so put it in the freezer for 20 minutes to get it colder and thicker. Overall, it was pretty refreshing. Just a little too sweet for my taste. I will try again with less sugar.
