I prefer orange blossom water over rose water so this syrup was perfect for the homemade donuts. Made for Ramadan Tag 09. -

Excellent recipe. Very easy to make and the perfect accompaniment to a lot of the Palestinian desserts I've been making lately. Thank you :)

What a wonderful taste! The orange blossom water is what compelled me to try this. I like flavored syrups and this recipe is the most different to any I've made. I made half the recipe which was a perfect amount for me. On the "syrup scale" this gets five-stars!

This is the best attar I have ever made. We prefer orange blossom in our attar over any with rose water. I am also raving about the consistency of it though. The amount of water to sugar is perfect. Even though I am saying that I did reduce the sugar a little and may do so again. I will use this recipe from now on even if I want to alter the flavoring.

I am 22 years old, married, and have a beautiful daughter named Layla. I was born and raised in Ohio, but now live in the Virgin Islands. My family is from Palestine, and I have visited over the summers many, many times. I loveeee food from Palestine, so I've decided to share some of my favorite recipes with you. I hope you like!
