Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Toast the almonds in a dry frying pan over medium heat, stirring, until light golden and fragrant, 3-4 min. Tip them onto a plate to cool.

  2. 2

    Slice the top and bottom off each orange. Stand it upright and cut away the peel and white pith in strips, following the curve of each orange.

  3. 3

    Cut the oranges crosswise into rounds 5 mm (1/4 in) thick, picking out any seeds.

  4. 4

    Fan the rounds in overlapping circles on a wide plate and pour over any juice left on the board.

  5. 5

    Dust the powdered sugar over the oranges through a fine sieve.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle on the orange blossom water, then the cinnamon.

  7. 7

    Cover and chill for at least 30 min so the sugar draws out the juice.

  8. 8

    Scatter the almonds over the oranges just before serving, with a last pinch of cinnamon.
