- Place oranges, juice and gin into a glass bowl.
- Crush the cardamom pods with the flat side of a knife and remove the small black seeds. Bruise the seeds in a mortar and pestle, then add to the gin. Stir and cover. Chill for 2-4 hours.
- Stir the lemon juice into the yoghurt, place in a glass or ceramic bowl, cover and refrigerate to let the flavour develop.
- Heat the grill to high. Spread the almonds on a baking tray and toast lightly, checking them constantly. Let the almonds cool.
- To serve, spoon the oranges into serving dishes or stemmed glasses, top with the yoghurt and sprinkle with the almonds.

Simple and easy to cook. Refreshing and cooling. Cleansing to the palate. Always a "hit" when I've served it to guests. - 26 Apr 2009 (Review from Allrecipes AU | NZ)
