Orange blossom is a flavour that polarises: either you love it or you can’t stand it. For me, it brings a delicate, floral lightness to desserts, especially really creamy ones such as cheesecakes, but I understand that a heavy hand can turn things a little sickly – medicinal, even. The strength of orange blossom water varies between brands, so start with one tablespoon, taste and work your way up from there.
