What is Orange Blossom Water?

Orange Blossom Water is a flower water (like rosewater) that’s made from the blossoms on orange trees. It’s a wonderfully floral, citrus flavor to add to baked goods, salads, and drinks.

The key to using any flower water is to not overdo it. Orange blossom water adds a lovely flavor to a dish, but it is deceptively strong.

To keep your dish from being overly floral and cloying, use a small amount of orange blossom water and taste as you add it to make sure it’s not overpowering the dish.

Where to Buy Orange Blossom Water

Orange Blossom Water can be found in many Middle Eastern grocery stores and at Whole Foods. It can also be found online at Amazon - I recommend the orange blossom water from Cortas.

If you want to make your own orange blossom water, using petals, you can buy dried petals from Amazon.
