    Heat the milk over medium heat until it begins to steam, roughly 5 minutes.

  • 3

    Whisk in 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar until it has completely dissolved.

  • 4

    Remove the saucepan from the heat to prevent the milk from scalding or forming a thick skin.

  • 5

    Stir in 2 tablespoons of premium orange blossom water carefully so the aroma doesn't dissipate.

  • 6

    Taste the milk and add a touch more sugar if you prefer it sweeter.

  • 8

    Serve warm or allow it to cool to room temperature before refrigerating for a refreshing chilled version.
