Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces oranges
- 250 ml orange juice
- 125 ml water
- 75 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 sprigs mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the oranges, making sure to remove all the white pith. Slice the oranges into 1 cm thick rounds and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the orange juice, water, and granulated sugar. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the orange zest and vanilla extract during the last 2 minutes of simmering.
Remove the syrup from the heat and let it cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
Arrange the orange slices in a serving dish or individual bowls, slightly overlapping them for presentation.
Carefully pour the warm syrup over the orange slices, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Let the dish sit for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for a chilled version.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving, if desired. Enjoy your refreshing Oranges in Orange Syrup!
