Orange Sharbat

A Sharbat is a sweet drink made from fruit or flower petals. It is the PERFECT non-alcoholic drink to have with my favourite Spanish foods tapas and paella. Bitter orange and saffron work add colour and flavour to the drink. Verjus brings a soft acidity that tempers the sweetness of the simple syrup while the soda water integrates the flavours together without diluting the floral notes.
