Freeze the mousses for at least 8 hours, the honey mousses will not be completely frozen and will still be soft enough when served.

Combine the pomegranate juice, sugar and lime juice in a sauce pan and bring to a boil.
Boil over medium low for 30-35 minutes or until it has a syrup consistency, you will have about 1 cup of pomegranate syrup.

Drizzle with the pomegranate syrup and/or also sprinkle the pomegranate arils on top and serve immediately.
