P.S. Don't know if Orange Tree Flower Water (or the other way) is the correct translation for this essence. This is a typical syrian-lebanese essence made from the maceration of orange tree flowers, with the name [i]maé zahar[/i]. You might find it in syrian, lebanese or other arab markets/stores, in good 'own production' candy-shops or even in good supermarkets (in the place where you find other essences, like vanilla essence).
Thanks Kris for reminding me of this!
