Instructions
Make the simple peach syrup

- Once the sugar is dissolved completely, reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Add the sliced peaches (with skin) and whole spices and let simmer for 25-30 minutes. Every now and then, push the peaches down into the sugar to allow the juices and color to leech.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely. Drain the peaches and whole spices and transfer to a clean, airtight jar. Press down to release more juices from the peach.
- Refrigerate the simple peach syrup. Keeps well for a month.
