A refreshing summer twist on lemonade that everyone loves. I got his from a cookbook I love "From the Tables of Lebanon" by Dalal Holmin &Maher Abbas. I have however taken a shortcut to make this and it is very good both ways. It is definitely worth tracking down Orange Blossom Water for this drink, it makes it unique. This may be on the sweet side for some, so consider using less sugar until you taste it.

This was a lovely lemonade. The orange blossom water, certainly does make it exotic tasting. I found it slightly perfumy and not overly sweet. I used the orange juice option as well. Thank you for sharing this very tasty drink.
