Orange water

Sometimes some recipes for making a number of beverages involve the use of a component such as orange water. It is noteworthy that in the territory of the countries of the former USSR, this flavoring agent with aromatic citrus fruits was not as widespread as, for example, in Arab or French cuisine. There, cooking orange water or otherwise orange flower water is used quite widely, both in the process of preparing various kinds of drinks and in the mass of culinary dishes.

As is known, on an industrial scale, orange water is produced in a manner that is similar to perfume making but without an alcohol-containing base. In other words, the components that are intended to create a certain aroma are treated by distillation. In addition, there is a more time-consuming method with the use of alcohol (full wing), but in this particular case it is not relevant.

Thus, the orange peel is immersed in water and heated, wherein the aroma-saturated vapor passes through the cooling system and is transformed into condensate, which is the final product. The resulting orange water has a very rich, dense aroma and characteristic taste of this sunny fruit.

It is worth noting that if orange water is present in the recipe of any drink, and you don't really want to purchase this product for the sake of single use, you can easily find a replacement for it. So, basically, the recipe includes rather insignificant doses of orange water and it is quite permissible to replace it - it is enough to squeeze out the fruit zest. It is clear that this will not be an analogue to the full extent, but the taste integrity of the finished drink will remain.

When purchasing this fragrant concentrate in store, it is important to know that the orange water you will be using has an all-natural composition. This is due only to the fact that it is used in cooking, but also the use of orange water in perfumery and cosmetology, where it acts as an excellent skin care product.

As is known, the beneficial properties of natural orange water are that it is able to regenerate skin cells with restorative, refreshing and tonic effects. By gently lightening and giving the skin a glow, orange water promotes the formation of collagen, thereby effectively smoothing the wrinkles, increasing the elasticity and elasticity of the skin.

In addition, one cannot but say about the use of natural orange water, which acts as a natural aphrodisiac, in aromatherapy, where it is actively used to ensure a good calm sleep, helping to facilitate emotional dependence, as well as increase creativity, relax and calm.
