Anyone know where I can get elderflowers or elderflower cordial in San Diego?

I just found these recipes: http://www.nordljus.co.uk/en/early-summer-bounties and http://www.waitrose.com/recipe/Classi... and I need a source of either whole elderflowers or elderflower cordial.

Thanks in advance.

Obviously the elderflower cordial is very popular in the UK since the recipes are from English sources. I brought some home last time I was over there...it's fantastic mixed with sparkling water. I like the brand Belvoir. The only source I've found is on-line www.britishdelights.com/belvoir.asp but I've never looked for it at IKEA.

Isn't there a british food store on Lomas Santa Fe near the 5 in Solana Beach?

As far as whole elderflowers....never seen them here.

Love elderflowers! There may even be some out and about for foraging! The last time I saw elderflower cordial was in IKEA

OOooo... if you see any, please let me know. I'm not above plucking a handful of flowers off a neighborhood tree...

I'm not sure if/how elderflower cordial is different from elderflower liqueur, but St. Germain (which is the liqueur) shouldn't be too hard to find any any well stocked liquor store. I know I've seen it at Holiday Wine Cellar in Escondido.

I've also seen Thatcher's elderflower liqueur at BevMo. It's cheaper than St. Germain, but I haven't tried it.

The elderflower cordial they ask for in this recipe has no alcohol in it. It's a mix of elderflowers, water, lemon juice, lemon zest and citric acid, boiled and strained to extract the flavour.
