Here's a rustic cordial made with peach leaves that lend their almost flowery, almond taste. Don't bother with an expensive bottle of wine, just pick out a bargain bottle of whatever color you prefer, heat it with the other ingredients, and wait a while.

You can keep it in the fridge for about 6 months, although there's no way it'll last that long.
