- *many grocery stores now sell culinary lavender and rosewater -- i found mine at whole foods. rosewater is also commonly found at middle eastern shops; lavender you might find at a latin american grocery store. if not, you can definitely find these items online. be sure that your lavender and rosewater are additive-free and intended for food use!
