## Ingredients
|
|
|
|
- 1 cup peaches (about 2 medium), fresh or frozen, chopped
|
|
- 1 cup sugar (unrefined cane, granulated, or brown)
|
|
- 1 cup water
|
|
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
|
|
|
|
## Instructions
|
|
|
|
1. Wash and chop the **peaches** into small pieces. There's no need to peel them.
|
|
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped **peaches**, **sugar**, and **water**.
|
|
3. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the **sugar** is fully dissolved.
|
|
4. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for 15-20 minutes. Use a spoon or potato masher to gently mash the **peaches** to release more flavor.
|
|
5. Turn off the heat and allow the syrup to steep and cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes. The longer it steeps, the more flavorful it will be.
|
|
6. Pour the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean jar or bottle. Press the peach pulp with a spoon to extract all the liquid.
|
|
7. If using, stir in the **vanilla extract** once the syrup has been strained.
|
|
8. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
|
|
This peach syrup is perfect for cocktails (like a Peach Mojito or Bellini), mocktails, sweetening iced tea or lemonade, drizzling over pancakes, or adding to sparkling water for a refreshing peach soda.

## Notes
|
|
|
|
### Sugar Choice
|
|
- Unrefined cane sugar is a great choice, but regular granulated white sugar or even brown sugar will also work well. Brown sugar will result in a slightly darker syrup with a hint of caramel flavor.
|
|
|
|
### How to Use
|
|
- This peach syrup is perfect for cocktails (like a Peach Mojito or Bellini), mocktails, sweetening iced tea or lemonade, drizzling over pancakes, or adding to sparkling water for a refreshing peach soda.
