Notes

Tip: Run a lemon wedge around the rim of the glass and dip it in a mixture of sugar and crushed dried orange peel before building the drink. The aromatic rim takes this to another level!

Hot Method

1 cup water
0.5-1 cup sugar
1 cup dried Orange Blossoms

Heat the water and sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Allow to cool to 160°F to 180°F/ 70°C to 80°C). Add the orange blossoms. Remove from the heat and pour into a sterile jar to steep like a tea. Taste it after an hour to see if it's at the strength you like. Drain the flowers in a cheesecloth to get rid of all the bits and pieces.
