Homemade Peach Liqueur

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Servings 4 cups

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups vodka
  • 4 large peaches, pit removed, flesh and skin roughly chopped

    fresh thyme

  • 6 to 8 inches lemon zest
  • 1-1/2 cups cups sugar
  • 1-1/2 cups cups water

Instructions
 

  • Divide vodka, peach, fresh thyme and lemon zest between 2 sealable glass quart jars. Seal and shake. Let mixture steep for 2-3 days at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
  • Sample before straining to see if the peach flavor is sufficient. If not, let steep for another day.
  • Strain fruit, then filter mixture through a coffee filter or through two layers of cheesecloth, pressing down to extract liquid.
  • Heat water and sugar in a pot on medium heat until it boils and forms a syrup, about 5 minutes. Let syrup cool.
  • Once the syrup is cool, combine it with the peach-zest infusion. Seal in bottle or jar, then shake to mix.
  • Let rest for a minimum of one day.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to two months.
