Boil the syrup for three minutes, then add the ground pistachios. Turn the heat down to low and simmer for another three minutes, then slowly increase the heat just before it starts to boil. Remove from the heat and cover with a lid. Allow the pistachio mixture to infuse for 8 hours. Strain the mixture through a cheesecloth. Stir the vodka and orange flower water into the pistachio syrup. Store in refrigerator for up to two weeks.
