Probably at a store which sells either pastry baking items or an Arab shop which sells foods from the middle east ...

Call Chef Central in Paramus! 201-576-0100
If they don't have it, I bet they can tell you who does. :wink:

In Middle Eastern shops it's known as "Ma Zaher" which translates to "flower water".

If you reach a dead end, PM me. I can ship a bottle to you.

I got mine at Fairway, which is in New York.

I've been told Whole Foods carries it, but YMMV. I couldn't find it at my local Whole Foods. Your best bet is probably to call ahead and ask.

If you have the time, you can also get it online at <a href="http://www.thespiceh...-Water.php">The Spice House</a>.

EXCELLENT suggestion! And of course, when you're there, be sure to grab a bite at Indian Chef... :wink:

I'm sure that I have bought orange flower water locally (Montclair area). I would try Whole Foods and Kings, then any stores that have "gourmet" sections such as Bean's on Church Street or Spice it Up on Bloomfield Ave.

Delicious Orchards in Colts Neck has some, as well as Toscano Gourmet in Toms River.
