For the Peach Strawberry Puree:

For the Homemade Simple Syrup:
Add the granulated sugar and water to a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring mixture to a low boil, stirring occasionally. Allow mixture to boil for 3 minutes or so, or until mixture becomes syrupy. Set aside to cool.

Cover and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve. When ready to serve, serve in glasses with ice and desired garnishes. Enjoy!
