🌟 Why You'll Love This Recipe

It's easy to make. If you can make a basic simple syrup (you totes can), and simmer some peaches in it, you can make this!
It only requires three ingredients. Water, sugar, fresh peaches. That's it!
It's made with fresh peaches. If you're anything like me, you appreciate recipes that are made with fresh ingredients. This one uses fresh, sweet peaches.

💭 What is peach syrup?

Peach syrup is a plain simple syrup that's been allowed to infuse with the flavor and color of peaches.

Simple syrup is (oftentimes) a syrup made out of water and white sugar. It simmers together and then cools until a viscous syrup results.

Peach syrup takes on a beautifully peachy hue and tastes like a super sweet fresh peach. It's lovely in teas, lemonades, cocktails, on ice cream, over pancakes ... the list goes on.

📝 Ingredients

  • Water: Just plain tap water will suffice.
  • Sugar: I used white granulated sugar (as I do in most simple syrups). But you can also use brown or demerara sugar. Just keep in mind that using a different sugar will alter the appearance and flavor the the syrup.
  • Peach: One fresh peach, please! I used a yellow peach to make the syrup (yes, I know that the ones in the photos are white peaches), but use whatever you like/have on hand.

👩🏻‍🍳 How do you make peach syrup?

Peach simple syrup is made, well, very simply.

You'll start by bringing water and sugar to a simmer before killing the heat and adding a chopped fresh peach to the sauce pan.

Allow the peach to infuse the syrup and for the syrup to cool completely.

Next, just strain out the pieces of peach before stashing the simple syrup in an airtight container in the fridge.

Want it to last a little longer? Add about half an ounce of plain vodka to the simple syrup. That will help to extend its shelf life.
