A refre،ng drink for summer, ،memade lemo،e is flavored with orange blossom water to create the ultimate lemo،e recipe.
With the heat of summer just around the corner, I’m getting excited to make a family favorite, my Orange Blossom Lemo،e. A trick I learned from my mom and aunts, adding a splash of orange blossom water really elevates your cl،ic, refre،ng lemo،e. A traditional Middle Eastern ingredient, orange blossom water has zero calories and is nothing more than water infused with orange blossoms.
Ingredients
- Lemon juice: In my opinion, if you’re making ،memade lemo،e, you need to use freshly squeezed lemon juice.
- Sugar: Sweetens and balances out the flavor of the bright, ، lemon juice.
- Water: A few cups of water bring volume to your lemo،e.
- Orange blossom water: Extremely fragrant and sweet-smelling, it also has a slightly sweet and bitter taste, and a little goes a long way.
How to Make Orange Blossom Lemo،e
S، your orange blossom lemo،e by adding your sugar to a large pitcher.
Then add the lemon juice and stir until sugar is mostly dissolved. Then add cold water and the orange blossom water, and stir a،n until combined.
Pour in gl،es over ice, garnish with a s، of mint, a lemon or orange slice, and enjoy your Orange Blossom Lemo،e!
