Atar -- Scented Simple Syrup(Qatar)

Directions

1. 1
   Dissolve sugar in water in heavy pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
2. 2
   Bring to boil, add lemon juice and boil over medium-low heat for 12 minutes. Once syrup has begun to boil, do not stir again, as this makes the syrup cloudy.
3. 3
   Add orange blossom water (or rose water), boil 30 seconds longer. When cool, the consistency should be similar to thin honey.
4. 4
   Cool and store in a sealed glass container in the refrigerator for several weeks.
