Rosewater (liquid)

Rosewater is a fragrant liquid made by distilling rose petals, with a delicate, floral flavour used in Middle Eastern, South Asian, and Mediterranean desserts. It is added to baked goods, syrups, and drinks in small amounts, since its strong perfume can easily overwhelm a dish if overused. It is often paired with ingredients like pistachio, cardamom, and citrus.

As a free-flowing liquid, this ingredient fills a measuring cup with no trapped air pockets, so its weight is close to a straightforward density calculation.
