Make the peach syrup
In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups of water with the chopped peaches and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer 5–7 minutes until the peaches are completely tender. Remove from heat and let cool fully. Strain out the peach skins and pulp — what's left is a gorgeous peachy syrup.

Notes & Tips
This one hits that perfect balance — sweet enough to feel like a treat, tart enough to actually quench your thirst. The peaches cook down fast and the syrup they leave behind is the whole point. You can make the syrup ahead and keep it in the fridge for a few days, then mix to order whenever. Early season peaches that aren't quite ripe yet? This recipe is actually better for them — the heat draws out all that flavor they're holding back.
