Allow a half hour or more resting time.

Serves 4.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

  • 4 large, fresh carrots (about 1 lb.)
  • 2 to 3 navel oranges (about 2 lb.)
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons orange flower water

Preparation:

Peel the carrots and grate them into very fine strands. Peel the oranges, remove the pith, and cut into 1/2 inch pieces.
