*Orange-flower water called zhaar in Morocco and mazahir in Arabic. Orange-flower water is used to impart a subtle flavor to many North African dishes. In Morocco, and the Maghreb, much of the orange-flower water that is consumed is home-distilled from fresh orange blossoms. In the United States, the choices are the Lebanese version that is readily available in shops selling Middle Eastern items and the harder-to-find French variety that can be found at gourmet stores and some shops selling baking supplies. Orange-flower water will last virtually indefinitely, but it loses its potency and becomes slightly cloudy if left on a pantry shelf too long.
