Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe peaches
- 500 ml Sauternes wine
- 1 teaspoon dried angelica root
- 0.5 teaspoon culinary lavender buds
- 50 grams sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 250 ml water
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the peaches thoroughly and pat them dry. Carefully slice each peach in half and remove the pits.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the Sauternes wine, water, and sugar over low heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely, forming a light syrup.
Step 3
Add the dried angelica root and lavender buds to the syrup. Stir gently and let the mixture simmer on low heat for 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the syrup cool for about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Place the peach halves in a shallow dish, cut-side up. Strain the warm syrup through a fine sieve to remove the angelica and lavender, and pour the syrup evenly over the peaches.
Step 6
Sprinkle the lemon zest over the peaches and cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the peaches for at least 2 hours, or overnight for a stronger infusion.
Step 7
When ready to serve, place two peach halves in each serving bowl, spooning some of the syrup over the top. Garnish with a fresh mint leaf for added fragrance and presentation, if desired.
