I really enjoyed this very tart lemonade. I had to add even more sugar for my child, who likes it very sweet. The orange blossom water really imparts a unique flavor. (However, my husband, who tends to not care for anything too out of the ordinary, did not care for this). So, if you enjoy unique tastes, give this delicious lemonade a try. I found that the lemon juice mixture came out to 2 full cups of liquid - 1/3 cup of the mixture mixed with a tall glass of ice water came out perfect.

This was really good and refreshing! I only used 1/2 cup sugar and that was plenty for my tastes. Yummy!!

Very pleasant! The perfume of the orange blossom water creates a lovely and refreshing effect.
