You can make rosewater by mixing distilled drinking water with pure rose essential oil. You will need a solvent such as some sort of natural alcohol which should allow for the rose oil to dissolve in the water. Still the recommendation is to always go with steam-distilled rose water. This rose water is produced in a rose distillery and directly from the rose petals.

Edible rosewater smells faintly like roses, and tastes like a 'rose petal' when you eat it but a bit 'lighter' ...
