- 1 to 2 tablespoons orange blossom water or 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 teaspoons orange extract

Directions
- Place water and mint in a 6-qt. slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 6 hours or until heated through. Strain mixture; discard mint.

Test Kitchen tips
- Orange blossom water, also called orange flower water, can be found at most specialty grocery stores or spice shops.
- Using orange extract instead of orange blossom will add a hint of orange flavour, while blossom water adds a unique floral note.
