Steep and strain: Once boiling, remove from heat and let steep for 45 minutes. Pour syrup through a fine-mesh strainer into a glass bottle.
Pro tip: For a smooth and silky syrup, make sure you strain the mixture well. Press down on the fruit as you strain to extract all the fruity flavors.
Make ahead and storing instructions
Make ahead: Make this syrup ahead of time and store for up to a month. This is a great option if you like syrup in your coffees, cocktails, or even drizzles on pancakes in the morning.
How to store: Store at room temperature or in the refrigerator in an airtight container. A mason jar or another glass jar works great. This syrup will last 1-2 weeks at room temperature and up to a month in the fridge. Once it’s cloudy, it’s no longer good.
Recipe variations
- Any sugar: Any sugar works for this delicious peach syrup. Cane sugar, coconut sugar, date sugar, and raw sugar all work great. Do note that the flavor and color may vary slightly depending on what type of syrup you use.
- Citrus: Add lemons, oranges, or limes when steeping for a slight, yet bright, citrusy twist to this homemade syrup.
- Frozen or fresh peaches: If you have tons of fresh summer peaches lying around, this is a great way to use them. But, if it’s not peach season, feel free to use frozen peaches.
- Minty infusion: If you like to make virgin mojitos, consider adding a few mint leaves for an aromatic summer beverage.
