I was in a Middle Eastern grocery store the other day and bought a bottle of rose water. I was just wondering if anyone has used it. I was thinking that I would make a simple syrup with some and use it as the liquid in the filling for a champagne cake..any other ideas?

Its used to make turkish delight as well

You can alwaya make some delicious baklava!!

How about rose fondant creams? (Don't know if you have them in America, they'r like peppermint creams). Or rose flavoured macaroons?

I use it to scent the almond paste in anything that uses almond paste -- it adds a really interesting, exotic note. It's not very strong -- won't flavor as noticeably as vanilla or another extract would.

Make your own Marzipan, use it to flavour coffee, if you drink coffee

Make pretty madeleines.

I've never used it or had it-just curious if it has a "perfumy" taste?
