Spa Index Kitchen Notes
Orange blossom water, also called orange flower water, can be found at most specialty grocery stores or spice shops. If you use orange extract instead of orange blossom (decrease the amount to 1-2 teaspoons, rather than the larger tablespoons for orange flower water), it will add a hint of orange flavor, while blossom water adds a unique floral note.
