OK. Thanks. This is the type of rosewater I use for period recipes. 

Surprisingly when combined with other spices there is often an underlying 
hint of 'horseradish' flavor when using rosewater in certain recipes. 
Although not period, Puck served us fried potatoes and onions on his boat 
with rosewater in them. It was absolutely delicious and had this underlying 
flavor.
