Pomegranate Molasses Iced Tea

This have become a nightly favourite for me when preparing dinner - a good replacement for that glass of red I'm trying to give up.

Ingredients

Light sugar syrup (made with 2 parts water, to 1 part sugar)
Lime Juice
Pomegranate Molasses
Sparkling mineral water
Ice
(White spirit to make a cocktail if inclined.)

Implements
Highball glass
Straw or stirrer

Method
Place Pomegranate Molasses, sugar syrup and lime juice in glass, with ice and mineral water. Stir and taste, and adjust accordingly. The pomegranate molasses tends to sit at the bottom, but I quite like the effect when drinking through a straw... a little bit like Vietnamese ice coffee with the condensed milk at the bottom.
