Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Begin by washing the oranges thoroughly under running water.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully peel the oranges, removing all the white pith as much as possible.
- Slice the peeled oranges into either rounds or segments, depending on your preference. Place the slices or segments in a large serving bowl.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Stir to dissolve the sugar.
- Add the cinnamon stick to the sugar-water mixture.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the liquid to a boil, stirring occasionally.
- Once the mixture reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low. Allow the syrup to simmer gently for about 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens slightly and takes on a light golden hue from the cinnamon.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the syrup cool for a few minutes. The cinnamon stick can be left in the syrup for a stronger flavor or removed, depending on your preference.
- Gradually pour the milk into the cooled cinnamon sugar syrup, whisking constantly to create a smooth blend.
- Return the saucepan to low heat and gently warm the mixture, ensuring it becomes well-integrated. Be careful not to bring it to a boil to prevent the milk from curdling.
- Once warmed and mixed thoroughly, remove from heat.
- Pour the warm cinnamon milk syrup over the orange slices in the serving bowl, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Allow the oranges to soak in the syrup for at least 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors, or refrigerate for a longer period if preferred chilled.
- For an added touch, sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon over the top of the oranges.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves or a delicate twist of orange zest for an extra touch of color and flavor.
- Serve the oranges with cinnamon sugar syrup in individual bowls or small plates.
- Enjoy this delightful combination of sweet oranges with warm cinnamon flavor as a refreshing dessert or snack.
Tips:
- When selecting the oranges, choose ones that are firm and heavy for their size, as they will be juicier and more flavorful.
- Make sure to peel the oranges well to remove the bitter white pith, which can affect the taste of the dessert.
- For a more intense cinnamon flavor, let the cinnamon stick steep in the sugar syrup for a few extra minutes before removing it.
- If you prefer a thicker syrup, cook it for a few additional minutes after removing the cinnamon stick.
- Garnish with a few fresh mint leaves or a dusting of powdered cinnamon for an extra touch of elegance.
Oranges with cinnamon sugar syrup is not only a simple and quick recipe but also a delicious way to enjoy the natural sweetness of oranges with an added spiced depth. The combination of citrus and cinnamon creates a unique flavor profile that will leave your taste buds delighted. Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy this wonderful dessert with family or friends.
