Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Oranges
- 1.5 cups Champagne
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the oranges. Using a sharp knife, remove the white pith by carefully slicing along the curve of each orange. Once peeled, cut the oranges into thin slices and arrange them in a shallow serving dish or container.
In a small saucepan, combine the champagne and granulated sugar. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves completely. This should take about 2-3 minutes; avoid boiling the mixture.
Once the sugar is dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the champagne syrup to cool to room temperature.
Pour the cooled champagne syrup evenly over the sliced oranges, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor infusion.
Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves (if desired) for a pop of color and extra freshness. Serve chilled as a light and refreshing dessert.
