Ingredients

• 4 whole Oranges (navel or blood oranges preferred)
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Orange blossom water
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons Pistachios (optional, shelled and chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the oranges carefully, removing all the white pith to expose the vibrant flesh underneath. Slice each orange into thin rounds, about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 2

Arrange the orange slices on a large serving plate or individual plates, slightly overlapping them in an attractive pattern.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, honey, orange blossom water, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

Step 4

Drizzle the honey-sugar mixture evenly over the orange slices, ensuring every piece gets a touch of the fragrant dressing.

Step 5

Optional: Sprinkle chopped pistachios over the oranges for added crunch and nuttiness, and garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.

Step 6

Chill the dish in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, or serve immediately if desired.

Step 7

Serve the perfumed oranges as a light dessert or side, enjoying the delicate blend of citrus and floral aromas.
