Ingredients

  • inch ginger fresh minced peeled
  • servings ice cubes for serving
  •  to gushy peach pitted soft halved thinly sliced
  • servings soda water 
  • cup sugar 
  • cup water 

Equipment

  • sauce pan
  • sieve
  • wooden spoon
  • drinking straws

Directions

  1. To make the syrup, in a saucepan, combine the water, sugar, and ginger over medium-low heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved.
  2. Remove from the heat, cover, and steep at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  3. Pour the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the ginger, pressing all the flavor out of the ginger with the back of a spoon against the sieve.
  4. Transfer to a jar or other storage container, cover, and refrigerate until well chilled.
  5. Evenly distribute the peach slices among the glasses. Carefully smash the peaches with the end of a wooden spoon to release their juice.
  6. Pour about 2 tablespoons chilled syrup over the peaches in each glass. (The remaining syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.)
  7. Add ice cubes and then top off each glass with soda water.
  8. Mix each drink with a straw or spoon to distribute the syrup, peach juices, and peach bits evenly. Float a few mint leaves on each serving, then serve immediately (especially on really hot days).
