About Orange flower water

Orange flower water, also called orange blossom water, is an aromatic water traditionally made by distilling orange-tree flowers with water. It is clear and liquid, with a pronounced floral fragrance and a delicate sweet, perfumed taste rather than the juicy flavour of orange fruit.

It is used sparingly to scent foods and drinks. Products can differ in concentration and production method, so the name alone does not establish the strength or exact composition; it is distinct from orange juice and from concentrated flavour extracts.
