Orange blossom water, also known as zhar, is derived from the distillation of orange blossoms.
The blossoms are carefully harvested, and their fragrant oils are captured through a meticulous steam distillation process.
The resulting liquid is a clear and aromatic water that carries the delicate essence of oranges.
One of the most common uses of orange blossom water in Moroccan cuisine is in desserts and pastries.
Aside from desserts, orange blossom water is also employed in savory dishes.
Similarly, rose water, or mawared, is another beloved ingredient in Moroccan cuisine.
It is derived from the distillation of rose petals, capturing their captivating aroma and delicate taste.
In addition to sweets, rose water is used in refreshing beverages.
The versatility of both orange blossom water and rose water extends beyond the culinary world.
These floral waters are also used in Moroccan beauty rituals and aromatherapy.
