Derived from the ingredient records. The same one-to-one sugar syrup as the site's plain simple syrup, with some of its water replaced by rosewater (a distillate this site carries with no claimed sugar, acid or energy of its own), so the swap changes the aroma without changing the arithmetic. Every figure here is derived from the ingredient records this recipe names, not measured in a bottle, and is marked estimated on that basis.
