Rose water is a flavored water made by steeping rose petals in water.

Description

It is the hydrosol portion of the distillate of rose petals, a by-product of the production of rose oil for use in perfume.

It is used to flavour food, as a component in some cosmetic and medical preparations, and for religious purposes throughout Europe and Asia.

Rose syrup (not to be confused with rose-hip syrup) is made from rose water, with sugar added.
