Tips for the Best Peach Simple Syrup
Use ripe peaches. The riper the fruit, the more flavor your syrup will have. Frozen peaches work too. No need to thaw them first. Mash the fruit. Gently crushing the peaches helps release their juices. Strain well. A fine mesh strainer produces the smoothest syrup.Nutrition
