Hello! I was wondering, if I can swap orange blossom water for rose water, or skip it all together.

Hiii Elga, yep, you can use rose water for a slightly different floral flavour! Orange blossom water is a bit lighter and more citrusy, whereas rose water is more perfumed, so I’d recommend using a little less to start. You can also leave it out altogether if you prefer šŸ¤—
