I've never tried rose water though I've often looked at the bottles in
specialty shops. Am I to understand that 1 tsp in 1.5 cups water is
enough to give a distinctive flavor that's not overpowered by the
cinnamon? This looks like something I'd be up for trying, but part of
me thinks it would just be way too sweet, like pouring pure honey over
fruit.
