Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Using a sharp knife, carefully peel the oranges, removing all the white pith.
- Slice the peeled oranges into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick, and set them aside in a serving bowl.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of water.
- Add the cinnamon stick and ground cardamom to the saucepan.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar completely.
- Once the sugar has fully dissolved, allow the syrup to simmer for an additional 5 minutes, letting the spices infuse their flavors into the mixture.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the syrup to cool slightly for about 5-10 minutes.
- Once the syrup has cooled but is still warm, remove the cinnamon stick.
- Pour the spiced syrup over the orange slices in the serving bowl, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the contents to an airtight container.
- Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to let the flavors meld together.
- Before serving, give the orange slices a gentle stir to re-coat with the syrup.
- If desired, garnish with a fresh sprig of mint or a light sprinkle of additional ground cardamom.
- Serve chilled as a refreshing dessert or palate cleanser.
Tips:
- Choose fresh and firm oranges for the best texture and flavor.
- Peel the oranges carefully to remove all the pith, which can be bitter.
- Allow the syrup to cool slightly before adding the oranges to prevent overcooking the fruit.
- For an added twist, you can incorporate a splash of orange liqueur or a few cloves to the syrup.
- Make the dessert ahead of time and let it chill in the refrigerator to enhance the flavors.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of elegance.
