Flower Waters & Syrups

All natural syrups are a mainstay of the Lebanese preserving tradition, and these Mymoune syrups from Lebanon are exceptional. Aromatic and sweet, Mulberry and Rose syrups are special enhancements to fresh fruit, preserves, smoothies, cocktails—and of course, pancakes! The mulberry syrup is excellent as a finishing sweet-tart flavor for roasted vegetables like brussels sprouts and carrots. The rose syrup captures the beloved floral flavor beloved throughout the Middle East; use the syrup as you would rose water or as a final drizzle to all kinds of desserts. Each makes a simple, refreshing iced drink, mixing one part syrup to six parts purified, sparkling, or soda water.

Two 8.45 oz bottles.

Orange blossom water is distilled from the petals of orange blossoms. The scent and flavor of orange blossom water have unique powers over body, mind, and soul! The aroma will grace your kitchen whenever you use it, and soon you might find yourself forgiving offenses, planning a picnic, or noticing that your face, even at rest, has a bit of a smile on it....

Use your orange blossom water to scent syrups, pastries, confections, ice creams, and puddings. This is the flavor that makes Lebanese baklawa the best in its class. I like mine for cups of Lebanese cafe blanc, a delicate drink simply made with hot water and orange blossom water. A little honey doesn't hurt either. Ice it in the warmer season and it's equally wonderful. See recipes here, and many more in my cookbook.

The very finest pomegranate molasses you can buy, this tart concentrated pomegranate juice is used the same way you would use a vinegar in salads and marinades. Try it in a vinaigrette for Lebanese fattoush salad; there's no going back! For recipes, visit www.maureenabood.com and the Rose Water & Orange Blossoms cookbook.

This rose water is truly special, so fragrant and delicious--a Lebanese favorite that inspired the name of my blog and my book. This rose water (9 oz.) is imported from Lebanon, all-natural and beautifully packaged. It will last and last, especially since only a few drops are used in any recipe. Wondering how to use your bottle of rose water? See many wonderful recipes in my Lebanese cookbook, and on my blog here.
