Dec 24, 2007 #1 J jet Sous Chef Joined Oct 15, 2007 Messages 808 I have a recipe that calls for Orange flower water. Any ideas what I can use in its place?

Dec 25, 2007 #5 B Bilby Executive Chef Joined Oct 28, 2007 Messages 3,270 Location Perth, Western Australia I'm thinking YT that it would be better to go with the orange zest and have the Cointreau (or whichever) on the side with the recipe that Jet's making!! LOL

Orange flower water is delicate and perfum-ie. If it's a key ingredient in your recipe, I'd suggest hunting some down or making something else.

Dec 28, 2007 #10 jennyema Chef Extraordinaire Joined Mar 1, 2002 Messages 11,040 Location Boston and Cape Cod I agree that you could use rose flower water. With the spices and all, the flower water is going to be a background note anyway.
