Ilma Zhar or orange blossom water, is a clear, perfumed distillation of
fresh bitter-orange blossoms. Orange flower water is an essential ingredient in
Middle Eastern and Moroccan cooking. It's produced by distilling an infusion of
crushed orange blossoms and water. The resulting perfumed water is sweetly
fragrant of orange blossoms but not of citrus.
Orange
blossom water serves two purposes in Morocco. One usage is a perfume or
freshener, usually given to guests to wash their hands upon entering the host
house or before drinking tea, in a special silver or metal container but, this
old custom is fading away in the present day. The main usage of orange blossom
water however, is in Moroccan cuisine especially as an ingredient for
traditional sweets. Peeled slices of oranges, sprinkled with orange flower water and cinnamon

of Africa. The waters in the North Atlantic Ocean are typically at their
warmest while the Sahara is at its hottest from July through October, so the
chances of a hurricane are highest during these months. Hurricanes
are gigantic weather systems using convection, the movement of hot and cold
air, to create dangerous storms. They are rotating heat engines powered by the
warmth of tropical waters having three main parts, the eye, the eyewall, and
rainbands.
Hurricanes cannot form just anywhere in the world due to the need
for hot and humid air. They normally form close to the equator and move west or
northwest. Hurricane Alley is a stretch of warm water through the Atlantic
