Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Oranges
- 2 tablespoons Orange flower water
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 4 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the oranges using a sharp knife, ensuring all the white pith is removed. Slice the peeled oranges crosswise into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Arrange the orange slices in a single layer on a serving platter or in individual bowls, slightly overlapping them if needed.
Drizzle the orange flower water evenly over the orange slices, allowing it to soak in for a subtle floral aroma.
Sprinkle the granulated sugar over the orange slices to enhance the natural sweetness of the fruit.
Cover the platter or bowls with plastic wrap and let them rest in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, garnish the oranges with a mint leaf on top of each bowl or a few scattered around the platter for a pop of color and freshness.
Serve chilled and enjoy this simple, fragrant dessert!
