Flavored Waters and Syrups for Baking

Looking for new ways to add flavor to baking and cooking recipes? Flavored waters, such as orange blossom and rose flower waters have long been popular with bakers and chefs for adding light, floral top notes to both sweet and savory dishes. These versatile ingredients come in several types: hydrosols, which are waters flavored with the distilled essence of essential oils, and floral waters, which are waters flavored with essential oils. Floral waters are common Middle Eastern cuisine to flavor pastries, desserts, and savory dishes.

What are the Most Popular Floral Waters for Baking?

• Rose Flower Water adds a light, floral note to sweet or savory dishes. It is a classic ingredient for ethnic desserts such as Persian Love Cake, and adds lovely, light taste in frozen treats such as ice cream, frozen yogurt, sorbet, and granitas.
• Orange Blossom Water is a concentrated flavored water made from distilled orange blossoms. Middle Eastern, Indian, and Turkish cuisines feature Orange Blossom Water. It pairs well with citrus, almond, lemon, and cream flavors. Try the infused water in scones, baklava, galette cookies, pistachio cakes, and other baked goods. Orange Blossom water is also fantastic in creamy desserts, rice pudding, sweet sauces, and ice cream. You can also mix it into fruity tart fillings or drizzle it on fruit salad. Use Orange Water in cocktails, too.
