[Sca-cooks] Shelf life for Rosewater, Orange flower water

[Terry Decker]

Floral waters have an "official" shelf life of 1 to 2 years.  In practice, 
they can last ten or more years, as long as they haven't turned into a 
science project.  The only way to know is open it and check the potency.

I have an opened, nearly full bottle of Rosewater and an upopened
bottle of Orange flower water, that are each several years old.   I
just saw an interesting modern recipe that called for orange flower
water.  I wonder if I can use it or should toss them both.  Any idea
what the shelf life is?
