Wash oranges hot, pat dry, remove stem ends and slice half of the oranges into thin rounds with a vegetable peeler. Remove seeds, peel the rest of the oranges thoroughly with a sharp knife removing the white pith. Cut fruit fillets from the separating skins and catch the released orange juice. Squeeze juice from the remaining orange parts. Add the orange slices to 1/2 l hot water with the orange fillets, cover and let steep for 4 hours.
