How to make Peach Schnapps

Wash the peaches and lemon.

Use a potato peeler to take off a couple of peels from the lemon, avoiding the white pith.

Cut the peaches around the pit using a knife, making a complete circle, then twist to remove the pit.

Chop the peaches into pieces and place them in a one-pint jar.

Pour 1 cup of vodka over the peaches in the jar, ensuring they are submerged.

Seal the jar and let it sit for 2 to 3 days, tasting after 2 days to check the flavor.

After 3 days, prepare a sugar solution by heating 3/4 cup of water and dissolving 3/4 cup of sugar in it until clear, then let it cool.

Strain the vodka from the peaches into a container, noting the change in color to a pink peach color.

Allow the vodka to drip from the peaches while the sugar solution cools.

Combine the strained vodka with the cooled sugar solution, seal the jar, and shake gently.

Let the mixture sit for about a day before serving.
