Ingredients

6 large Navel or Valencia oranges

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

1 cup water

3 pieces of star anise

4 1/2 cups crushed ice

Directions

Peel the zest off one orange with a vegetable peeler and cut into thin strips; set aside. Put sugar, water, star anise, and orange zest in a small saucepan and set it over medium heat. Once the syrup starts to bubble up and the sugar has completely dissolved, turn off heat and allow the syrup to steep while it cools down. Peel the oranges, including the one that has been zested, making sure the pith is entirely removed. Holding peeled orange in your hand, section it by cutting between one section of fruit and the membrane separating it from the next section into the center of the fruit. . Divide the orange sections among 6 dessert bowls. Put crushed ice and cooled into each bowl. Serve immediately.
