To use, hold the spray bottle a short distance from the food or beverage you wish to flavor. Press the nozzle to release a fine mist of the orange essence. A few sprays are usually sufficient to achieve the desired flavor intensity. You can apply it directly to finished dishes, incorporate it into batters and doughs, or add it to liquids like water, cocktails, or sauces. Experiment with the number of sprays to find your preferred level of orange taste.
