How To Make orange slices w/star anise thai-style

  • 1
    Combine the water, sugar and star anise pods in a medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
  • 2
    Simmer the liquid until it is reduced to a generous 1 cup. This will take about 15 minutes. Remove pan from heat and stir in the orange blossom flower water. Remove star anise and set aside. Cover lid and chill until cold.
  • 3
    Use a sharp knife and cut off the orange peel and white pith. Slice oranges crosswise into 1/3" rounds. Set the oranges slices on a platter and pour the syrup over them. Garnish with the fresh mint. (If desired, garnish the fruit with the star anise that was set aside).
