What You Need
- ½ Cup Blood Orange Juice (About 4-6 Oranges)
- 1 Cup Sugar
- 1 Cup Filtered Water
- ½ t Orange Blossom (or Orange Flower) Water - optional
How You Make It
- Heat the water and sugar gently on the stove until the sugar has completely dissolved.
- Add the orange juice and bring to a rolling boil.

- Cool, and then strain* and add the orange flower water, if using.

Notes
*There is no need to strain the cooled syrup - I personally like the pulp, but if you are using this for cocktails, you may want a smoother syrup, so the cocktails are free of any 'bits'.
