1.To make panna cotta, place milk, cream, sugar and verbena in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir to dissolve sugar as the mixture comes to a simmer. Remove from heat and stand to infuse for 10 minutes.
-
2.Place gelatine in cold water for 5 minutes to soften.
-
3.Reheat milk mixture until warm, squeeze excess liquid from gelatine and stir through milk mixture to dissolve. Strain through a fine sieve into a jug. Divide milk mixture into four greased 2/3-cup (165ml) ramekins. Cover and chill for 4-6 hours or until set
-
4.Meanwhile, for the honeyed peaches, combine muscat and honey in a saucepan over high heat and cook, stirring constantly, until honey is dissolved. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes or until reduced by one-quarter. Remove from heat, strain into a bowl and set aside to cool.
-
5.Prepare a bowl of iced water large enough to hold the peaches.
-
6.Bring a separate saucepan of water to a simmer. Cut a cross in skin on top of peaches, add to pan and cook for 5 minutes or until just tender. Lift out peaches with a slotted spoon and immediately place into the iced water. Peel skin from peaches and slice into thin wedges. Add peaches to cooled syrup and chill until completely cooled.

7.Turn panna cotta out onto individual serving plates, top with honeyed peaches and drizzle with syrup. Scatter with extra verbena leaves to serve.
