Orange-blossom aroma in a sweet finish
The idea
Orange-blossom water is used for its floral fragrance, not to make a dish taste like orange juice. Its effect can be noticeable even in a small amount. When exploring a syrup or dessert, separating fragrance from sweetness helps explain why two equally sweet bites can feel very different.
A practical next step
Ask about a dessert's flavoring if floral aromas are not your preference. The name of the sweet may not identify every ingredient.
