flower water
Scented botanical distillate
Flower water is a fragrant liquid made by distilling or steeping flower petals in water, used in cooking, cosmetics, and perfumery.
Rose water and orange blossom water are the most common varieties, appearing in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines to flavor desserts, beverages, and savory dishes.
Flower waters also serve as gentle toners in skincare and as light fragrances.
Add a splash of flower water to the batter for a delicate floral note.
