Directions
1. Remove pits from peaches (keep the skin on) and mash in a medium-sized bowl. Add vinegar, sugar, and lavender, stir well, cover and refrigerate overnight – it’s a minimum, the longer it sits, the better it gets. If keeping longer, stir once a day. The mixture should start to look very juicy.
2. Press the peach, lavender and vinegar mixture through a fine-mesh strainer or a cheesecloth into a clean container. Discard the peach solids. Pour through a funnel into a clean bottle, seal the bottle and shake vigorously. Store in refrigerator for 3 to 5 days, shaking periodically until serving.
3. To serve, pour a dash of the peach lavender syrup into glasses and fill with ice cubes, white rum or sparkling water. Enjoy your peach lavender shrubs!
