Steps
Prepare the ingredients
The yellow peaches tasted a bit bland, so I am going to make syrup with them.
These are 5 large ones. Wash them under running water.
Chop the peaches
Peel the skin and chop them into small pieces.
Macerate in honey
Put all the peaches in a bowl and pour in the honey. I added between 1/2 and 2/3 of the peach's weight (700 g), but sugar works instead of honey too.
Add 1/2 tsp of salt and mix evenly.
Adding a small pinch of salt along with honey or sugar in sweet recipes helps highlight the sweetness even more.
Make the peach ade
Place it in a container and leave it in the refrigerator for a day or two; as the peaches macerate in honey, the liquid will draw out.
The thick syrup infused with peach aroma is truly delicious.
Because the peach flesh is soft and the sugar content is not very high, it is best to consume it within 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
Pour 1 cup of sparkling water over 1/2 cup of peach syrup, then add a squeeze of lemon juice.
Taste it, and if it is too mild, simply add more peach syrup.
Finish
Float plenty of cold ice, and this sweet, fragrant peach ade will instantly refresh you.
With this peach syrup, you can quickly whip up a trustworthy homemade drink, making it perfect for kids.
