Ingredients
- 4 large Oranges
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 120 milliliters Water
- 2 tablespoons Rose water
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the oranges, removing all the white pith with a sharp knife. Slice each orange into thin, round segments or separate them into individual segments. Set aside on a serving dish.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Place the pan over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
Step 3
Allow the sugar syrup to come to a gentle simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the syrup slightly thickens. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
Step 4
Stir the rose water into the warm sugar syrup and mix well. Let the syrup cool to room temperature for about 10-15 minutes.
Step 5
Drizzle the cooled rose water syrup evenly over the orange segments, ensuring they are well-coated.
Step 6
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 7
Serve the oranges chilled, garnished with fresh mint leaves if desired.
