Tips
- Substitute other varieties of citrus fruit, such as lemons or limes, if you don't have oranges.
- Make your own caster sugar, by placing raw sugar into a food processor and pulse until the sugar granules become finer.
- Create a lactose/dairy free dessert by choosing a dairy free margarine.
- Serve with your favourite yoghurt or créme fraiche.
