Prep 10 min · Total 1 hr 10 min · Makes 4 servings
Ingredients
- 3-4 oranges
- 1/4 cup orange flower water
- 1-2 Tbsp powdered sugar
- 1-2 teaspoons cinnamon
Directions
- Cut a thin slice from the top and bottom of each orange. Remove the peel along with all of the pith, then slice the fruit crosswise into 1/4 inch rounds.
- Pour a small splash of orange flower water into the base of a wide-bottomed glass or plastic container, then place the orange slices over it. If the oranges need to be stacked in more than one layer, add a little more orange flower water over each layer as you build.
- Pour in any orange flower water that is left, cover the container, and leave it at room temperature for 1 hour. When you’re ready to serve, lift the oranges from the container and arrange them on a plate. Spoon over a bit of the liquid from the container, then finish the oranges with powdered sugar and cinnamon right before serving.
