1. Put the loose tea leaves and cardamom in a heatproof jug, pour over the boiling water, and steep for 10 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve into a small saucepan.

2. Add the caster sugar to the strained liquid and heat gently, stirring until dissolved. Simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly syrupy, then leave to cool.

3. Toast the sesame seeds in a dry frying pan over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes, shaking the pan, until fragrant. Tip onto a plate to cool.

4. Peel the orange, cutting away all the white pith, then slice it into rounds and arrange them on a serving plate.

5. Pour the cooled cardamom syrup over the orange slices and refrigerate for 20 minutes so the flavours soak in.

6. Spoon the Greek-style yoghurt alongside the oranges.

7. Scatter the toasted sesame seeds over the oranges, then tear the basil leaves and scatter them on top. Serve chilled.
