Almond is Badem, but I am not sure Almond Essence can be got here (beware, you might get sold Almond oil). I bought some in the UK, -cant you ask a kind soul to bring you one out. After all, its a tiny bottle. But, the original recipe has walnuts in and vanilla essence, if you fancy a variation.
Here you can get small packets called Seker Vanillin, I think for Vanilla essence,its quite strong.
