Orange flower water, or orange blossom water, is a clear, perfumed distillation of fresh bitter-orange blossoms. Common in French and Morrocan cooking, it is now available by US manufactures and likely to be found on-line and at gourmet retailers.
The madeleines can be flavored with other aromatic ingredients besides the orange flower water, like the zest of a fresh lemon, or three teaspoons of white rum.
