I have plenty spare too if you need it(I am in Ozankoy)-I bought a big bag back from Asian supermarket in UK on my last visit.
I am returning to UK next week and will be visiting Asian shop while I am there for curry making supplies, so if you want me to bring you some back please PM me.

If you want it for making mulled wine I have found that the Italian liqueur Sambuca gives a very similar flavour and quite an alcohol boost aswell. You can buy Sambuca anywhere here.
