Orange blossom water is a highly concentrated orange blossom flavoring, somewhat bitter and with a very perfumed smell. It is obtained by distilling orange blossom flowers. Once the water is obtained, it is kept in characteristic bottles for its cobalt blue color that allows it to preserve its quality without being affected by light.
When using it in the kitchen, generally It is used in pastry recipes such as the famous roscón de Reyes, to which it gives that characteristic flavor that many times we have wondered what ingredient it was due to. It is also used to flavor crepes or tea.
Orange blossom water is a natural product free of preservatives and colorants that we can use in healthy recipes for children. In addition to the roscón, cakes or Swiss buns, the orange blossom water will bring new flavors to the ice cream, fruit salad in which we put citrus fruits and drinks without alcohol, very suitable for these parties. A dish that we have pointed out this bridge after trying it in a bar in Seville and that children already like is the little tears of chicken with orange blossom and orange cream. We will pass the recipe to you.
In department stores today we can easily find orange blossom water from brands such as Vahine, specialists in confectionery, or La Giralda, dedicated for more than a hundred years to this product.
