Orange Blossom Water (Cortas) 10fl oz

I bought this because it was in a recipe for a homemade body scrub I wanted to try out. It has a lovely (and strong) floral aroma. It blended nicely with the other scrub ingredients and I've been very happy using the scrub in the shower. (I know this is a food grade product. But I'm actually more comfortable putting something ON my body, especially in a homemade product, if it is also safe to consume.) I also tasted a bit. This really has a kick! There is a little bit of a bitter taste to it (but then, you are not supposed to just drink it straight -- it's fine when used as intended). I find it works best in combination with other flavors and that sugar sweetens it while retaining the floral taste. I love it with black tea. And it doesn't take much for you to notice the flavor. You might want to measure it with a small measuring spoon instead of just free-pouring it, until you know how much you want to use. It doesn't have any unpleasant aftertaste, though, which is great, but it does leave you with really nice breath...I am pretty sure it also helped to calm my stomach. I didn't try it for that purpose, but I was feeling a bit queasy before using it and now am feeling better. I think I am adding a few drops to peppermint tea next, for even more calming effects. To me, the smell is natural and not cloying. Please note that this is what is left over when the orange blossom essential oil is removed, so it will have some similarities to the oil fragrance but it will not be the same. I am thinking this would be very nice for home fragrance purposes, as well. A little bit in a cool mist diffuser or in a spray bottle on my pillow would be quite pleasant. (I've got so many ideas now, perhaps I should've bought the 4-pack instead...)

I use this for Christmas cookies. You sprinkle it on the warm cookie when it comes out of the oven. The smell is heavenly and the orange water will last me a long time. The shelf life is really long. I have used others but prefer this brand based on the quality.

Love this exotic flavor. Great for tea and golden milk.

I have used Cortes brand waters over the last 8-10 years. I have tried others and am usually unsatisfied and always end up buying Cortas brand again. This is especially nice if you want to make Baklava. I think it’s the best orange blossom water out there. The taste is true to orange blossoms. Very fragrant.

The product is fine. Not a strong flavor, but sufficient. (I have used this product before, thus ordered it again.) I ordered two bottles. Both arrived packaged well in bubble wrap. One bottle was fine; the other bottle was leaking. I fail to understand why a replacement bottle could not be sent me, considering the situation. I had to settle for a refund.

Orange Blossom Water is something I always keep in stock around my home, and that I'm frequently questioned on in regards to its use. It's not a commonly found item in most grocery stores (unless you have a Middle Eastern market in your area), so I was thrilled to discover this seller carried it. I've found that it's best used in black coffee, to add a hint of bitter orange that leaves one reminiscent of a chocolate orange. Almost floral in scent, it is without a doubt a product where a little can go quite a long way, so I always recommend that when using it, you start with a little as you can always add more to taste. For the more traditional Lebanese White Coffee, leave the actual coffee beans out and brew just a touch of the Orange Blossom Water into boiling water, almost creating a light tea, adding sugar or honey to sweeten if desired. I've found this is even more refreshing when brewed over ice, creating a sweet and cool drink that's wonderful in the summer time. And if you're looking for something even more dessert like, but not cloying and overpowering in taste, you can make a simple and light sugar syrup flavored with orange blossom water to pour over a fruit salad. Top with almond slices, granola, or even just leave it as is, and enjoy. As said, a little of this product goes a long way, and even when I use it in my coffee every morning, a bottle will last me quite some time. Just store it in a cool and dry place and it will keep quite nicely without any sort of refrigeration needed at all.

I bought this for a baklava recipe. Luckily, I tasted it before using it. It tasted like artificial, orange perfume. Unfortunately returns are not accepted. Lesson learned. I do not recommend this product.

Es una maravilla el aroma, ya lo use y es fantastico
