Steenbergs Organic Orange Flower Water - or Organic Orange Blossom Water - is a deliciously floral orange blossom water that has that summery feel that I love in Lebanese cookery, or just use it in baking or sprinkled onto fruit salads.

Orange flower water should be a storecupboard item in every kitchen and used to lift pastries and puddings from mediocrity into a blissful and sensual foodie heaven.

Steenbergs Organic Orange Flower Water is a wonderful floral ingredient often used in Middle Eastern cooking in both savoury and sweet foods (such as baklava), but sadly has fallen from use in British cuisine except in the making of marzipan.

In Mexico, orange flower water is used for the creation of little wedding cakes.

In western cooking, orange flower water is probably best known for flavouring madeleines and I often use it for flavouring marzipan at Christmas.

Try using Steenbergs Organic Orange Blossom Water in home made ice-creams, adding it to custards, cream and yoghurt or over fruit.
