Mabon Peach Simple Syrup Recipe~

Hello Beautiful people!

So, it’s almost the end of the First Harvest, Lammas, and we are quickly heading into the Second Harvest, Mabon! So, being a Kitchen Witch, I am always looking for ways to incorporate food into my rituals. I am so excited for Mabon this year because it will be my first celebration as a Wiccan! Anyway, I came up with a simple idea to incorporate some of the harvest fruits in my house by making them simple syrups and into teas! Peaches promote Love, Exorcism, Longevity, Fertility, and Wishes.

Ingredients: 

You will need:

(Note: If you want more syrup just double the measurements. Although it does make quite a bit.)

Now I use a sugar called Demerara Sugar. It’s like Cane sugar, but it has a more earthy taste and doesn’t melt as quick as Cane or white sugar but is soooo yummy. It also turned the water very brown so my syrup is a little more dark than it should be. It tastes exactly the same and holy shit it’s good.

Step 1: 

Get yourself some ripe peaches. Cut them into thinish slices and put them to the side for now. Prepare a saucepan (small) by adding the cold water and sugar to the pot.

Step 2: 

Add the peaches to the water and bring it to a boil. Allow about a minute or two to give the sugar time to dissolve. Once the sugar has dissolved, bring the heat down to low and using a spoon (Or a potato masher like I did) mush the peaches so that the peach flavor can mix with the sugar water.

Step 3:

After you’ve mashed all of the peaches, take off the heat. (Make sure all the sugar is dissolved) Let steep for 25-30 minutes. I let mine steep for like 45 minutes cause I wanted the flavor to really get saturated, but I’m sure if you let it steep for 30 minutes you should be fine. Once it’s steeped, strain into a jar or cup or whatever you can put it in and that’s it! It should have a beautiful pinkish/orange color, but like I said, mine came out a bit darker. Make sure you put it in the fridge so that it doesn’t spoil!

It’s still really tasty and it adds a nice taste of peach to my tea without overwhelming it. I made a tasty Peach Black Milk tea and added some Cinnamon to mine for some extra Healing, Protection, and Spirituality before I head off to bed, but feel free to add any yummy spices or herbs to your syrup to enhance the intent. I will probably make a tutorial on the how I make my tea but for now I leave you with this.

I hope you guys enjoyed this. Any questions? Feel free to message me. Have a peaceful night/day and many blessings!~

Peach and Almond Liqueur for Wisdom and Prosperity

This is a liqueur I made several times since I ended up with so many peaches over the summer. It helps that it tastes wonderful and the strong fruity flavors cover up almost any alcoholic burn. I know it’s not summer anymore, but that doesn’t take anything away from this drink that goes well with just about anything.

This liqueur might make a great addition to a money spell since the correspondences of the peaches and almond flavor work in that direction. As with anything involving alcohol, this recipe is intended for those of legal drinking age.

What you will need:

1 fifth (750mL) of vodka

5 Peaches chopped up

1/8th teaspoon of almond extract

1 cup of Simple Syrup

Combine the chopped peaches and vodka in a large jar. When chopping the peaches activate the properties you would wish to call upon. I would suggest for this focusing on protection and wisdom. Seal the jar and store in a dark cabinet for about 7 days. By then the vodka should smell strongly of peaches and it should be a nice pink-ish color. Strain out the peaches, add the simple syrup and almond extract, focusing on prosperity and wisdom. Mix everything and focus your intent as you stir clockwise. An idea I had for this, combining all the properties, was to wish for this liqueur to grant me wisdom in money matters. The almond can bring prosperity and the peach can help protect it.
