1. 1

   Thoroughly wash oranges. Remove zest, avoiding the white pith, and set aside. Cut oranges in half and juice them. Strain the juice, reserving and refrigerating 6 tablespoons (3 oz). Transfer remaining juice to a liquid measure, and add water to total 1 cup of liquid.

2. 2

   Combine water, sugar, orange zest, and cloves in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, swirling occasionally to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat, cover, and allow to come to room temperature.

3. 3

   Pour syrup through a fine mesh strainer into a jar or other suitable storage vessel. Stir in vanilla extract and orange blossom water. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

4. 4

   Divide ingredients equally between 2 16-oz glasses, starting with the smaller amounts of syrup and seltzer. Taste and add more syrup or seltzer if desired. Garnish with orange wheel if desired.

5. 5

   If making a larger batch, combine the ingredients in a pitcher instead.
