I thought I understood that you add the rosewater to cream, and the beat
the cream into butter. Adding it to already made butter wouldn't work,

I still remember the time I accidentally made butter, as a kid. It
didn't work on the berries as well ;-) but made interesting toast. I
must have been about 11. (Oh god- 25 years ago! ACK!)
