Orange blossom water from Yamama in a 750 ml bottle, for scenting sugar syrups, pastries, milk puddings and drinks.
Yamama Orange Blossom Water comes in a clear 750 ml (25 fl oz) bottle with a green and yellow label showing a white orange blossom on a leaf. The name appears in Arabic as ماء الزهر, in English as Orange Blossom Water and in French as Eau de Fleur d'Orange, with further text in Swedish, and the bottle carries a barcode and a small nutrition panel at the side. As general background, orange flower water is a clear, aromatic by-product of distilling fresh bitter-orange blossoms for their essential oil. It is a traditional ingredient in North African and Middle Eastern cooking; in Arab variants of baklava it is often mixed into the sweet syrup, and in the Middle East it is added to plain water for fragrance. A little goes a long way. Add a spoonful to cooled sugar syrup for baklava, kunafa and basbousa, knead it into maamoul dough, stir it into muhallabia and rice pudding, or add a few drops to lemonade.
