Posted May 21, 2017, Updated Jul 02, 2024 This orange blossom lemonade recipe was inspired by my favorite Lebanese restaurant. We would travel almost two hours to dine at this establishment, and always ordered Lebanese lemonade. It’s a refreshing drink with lemon juice, honey and a touch of orange blossom water that makes it extra special.
Orange Blossom Lemonade Recipe: Substitutions
Honey: you could use maple syrup, agave, or regular granulated sugar. If using sugar, you will need to heat it on the stovetop or blend it until the sugar dissolves. Lemon juice: Use fresh or bottled lemon juice. If using bottled, make sure to use 100% pure lemon juice (preferably organic). Orange blossom water: This is the secret ingredient in authentic Lebanese lemonade. I don’t recommend substitutes.
How to Make Orange Blossom Lemonade
This recipe is easy to make either in the blender or on the stovetop. The only real tip I have for you is to begin by adding 3 cups of water, then taste and add more to your liking. If you want to hurry the cooling process along, you can add ice instead of the last 1 cup of water.
Store/Serve
Store in a glass container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Serve chilled over ice with your favorite Mediterranean or barbecue recipes.
