kcalThe Orange Blossom Mint Refresher is a refreshing beverage that combines the flavors of orange blossom and mint. It’s a popular choice during hot summer months or as a light and revitalizing drink throughout the year.
Ingredients
20 cups water
1 bunch fresh mint (about 1 cup)
1 cup sugar
1 large navel orange
1 to 2 tablespoons orange blossom water or 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 teaspoons orange extract
Optional: Orange slices and additional fresh mint
Directions
- Place water and mint in a 6-qt. slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 6 hours or until heated through. Strain mixture; discard mint.
- Whisk in sugar until dissolved. Cut orange crosswise in half; squeeze juice from orange. Stir in juice and orange blossom water. Transfer to a pitcher.
- Refrigerate until cold, 4-6 hours. Serve over ice, with orange slices and additional mint if desired.
- Feel free to experiment with the recipe by adding other ingredients like lemon juice or a splash of lime for added zest. You can also adjust the sweetness, orange blossom water, or mint according to your personal taste preferences. Cheers!
Notes
- Orange blossom water, also called orange flower water, can be found at most specialty grocery stores or spice shops.
- Using orange extract instead of orange blossom will add a hint of orange flavor, while blossom water adds a unique floral note.
