Wonderful and refreshing. I froze it in an ice cream maker so it turned out smooth and delicious. I definitely recommend using one. I just approximated the amounts. About 2 cups mostly freshly squeezed orange juice and the rest store bought, 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice. I think I used less white sugar than called for but I'm not sure and around 3 cups of water. Be careful not to go over on the orange blossom water amount but this is definitely an ingredient you mustnt leave out. I added the additional option of finely grated lemon peel which was good. I will make this again.

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority!
<br>
<br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
