There are also small 'vanilla extract' sized bottles of much more 
concentrated rosewater.  If used in vanilla extract sized quantities, many 
people will eat the resulting product, if used in the quantities sometimes 
called for in the middle ages recipes, not only will you go broke, but the 
dish will so reek of rose scent that I'd bet not many people will eat it.  I 
didn't know the more dilute version existed, can't wait to try it.

By the way, my new favorite breakfast:
a cup of very strong, thick, Lebanese yogurt
a drop or two of the concentrated rosewater or orangewater
a big spoonful of grapenuts cereal

stir, and enjoy!
