- 1 Tbs. confectioners or finely granulated sugar
- ice (I use about 4 ice cubes)

- Optional: 1 oz. fresh orange juice (not from concentrate)
- Some people choose to squeeze fresh lemon & lime juice and add simple syrup.
- powdered egg whites can be used, if you are afraid of raw eggs. I've never had a problem!
- Orange Flower Water is not that difficult to find. If found mine at Trader Joe's or most liquor stores should carry it.
