Rosewater, and I do mean real Rosewater like the Heritage makes, is a wonderful treat. Both for the skin and for your kitchen. When I say real rosewater, I mean that the Heritage uses real rose essential oil, not a chemical fragrance. It is listed as food grade which means you can cook with it worry free! If you are thinking to yourself..."What in the world? Why would I cook with it?"....I understand, I myself did not know how many different recipes use rosewater until fairly recently. But after finding out that my favorite Indian restaurant uses it in both their rice pudding and their delicious lassi drinks I was inspired to find out more. It is used around the world in everything from baking, to drinks, to ice cream, and even as a replacement for red wine and other alcohols in Muslim cooking. I have started using it myself and have found that it lends a delicious, light, and very individual flavor to whatever I cook with it. But--and this is important too--it is not an overwhelming flavor / scent, it is a subtle flavor that is unmatched by other spices, and impossible to replicate with fake additives. Now, for the body, this makes a wonderful after bath splash, or an addition to the bath, or as an addition to witch hazel for a fantastic facial toner. I think that the fact that it is made with pure and natural essential oil makes the difference. It is romantic and heady without being too strong and "perfumey." Oh! And I also like to get the spray version of this and use it on my linens and around the house as a light air freshener.
