Orange flower water has been a traditional ingredient used often in North African as well as in Middle Eastern cooking.
If you are using the orange flower water in baking then very finely grated orange zest or 2-3 of drops of orange oil can be used as an alternative. The water is quite delicate so the zest of 1/2 to 1 full orange should be enough.
