You guys! Orange blossom water is a key flavor in middle eastern cuisine, fragrant and beautiful and unique. It's often used to flavor the syrup that soaks baklava. It lasts forever, and can impart celestial flavor to desserts, cocktails, fruit salads, yogurt, soft drinks/iced teas. I once made orange-blossom marshmallows that tasted like heaven itself. Live a little!

Completely agree. I use OBW in place of vanilla in many recipes that involve fruit. The flavor is unforgettable and a perfect complement to every fruit I've tried it with. My favorite is pears.

Substitute for orange blossom water (have not yet tried): Orange Zest is a direct derivative of the fruit's peel and rich in essential oils. It imparts a potent citrus flavor, appropriate for baked goods and desserts. To replace orange blossom water, use a teaspoon of finely grated zest for every tablespoon of orange blossom water.

This was a surprise delight - fresh and not too sweet.
