@613Angela great tips, thanks :)
By: dedemed
well if you don't have orange water or rose water then just use some orange zest instead and it will add a nice flavor to the syrup :)
By: dedemed
If I can't find rose or orange water is there somthing else I could use in the syrup for your baklava recipy? If so how much should I use in the syrup? Btw the finished product in the baklava recipy looks great!
By: thedoomtime
yes you can use just rose water or even just honey and that is great as well :)
By: dedemed
Yes you can definitely add honey instead of simple syrup, but both are great :)
