Pare away 4 strips of zest from the oranges using a vegetable peeler, and place each strip in a glass or mug. Peel away and discard the remaining skin and pith from the oranges, then segment.
Divide the segments between the glasses or mugs with the cinnamon sticks, rosebuds and honey. Pour boiling water over each to cover, stir well and leave to stand for a minute to infuse. Serve immediately.
