Ingredients

1 cup heavy cream
1 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Pinch of kosher salt
4 large ripe peaches (about 2 lb.)
6 fresh lemon verbena leaves
1 1/2 cups Cocchi Aperitivo Americano (Italian aperitif wine)
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup chopped unsalted, raw pistachios

Steps:

Whisk cream, yogurt, milk, honey, lemon juice, and salt in a large bowl. Process in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer frozen yogurt to an airtight container or a shallow baking pan; cover and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours.
DO AHEAD: Frozen yogurt can be made 1 week ahead. Keep frozen.
Using the tip of a paring knife, score an X in the bottom of each peach. Cook in a large pot of boiling water just until skins begin to peel back where cut, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a large bowl of ice water and let cool. Carefully peel peaches, reserving skins.
Bring lemon verbena, Cocchi Americano, sugar, reserved peach skins, and 1½ cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat and simmer until mixture has thickened slightly and looks syrupy, 10-12 minutes.
Add peaches, cover saucepan, reduce heat, and gently poach fruit until the tip of a paring knife easily slides through flesh, 12-15 minutes. (Very ripe fruit will take less time to cook.) Using a slotted spoon, transfer peaches to a plate and let cool. Cut into wedges.
Meanwhile, return poaching liquid to a boil and cook until reduced by half, 15-20 minutes. Let cool, then discard solids.
Scoop frozen yogurt into small glasses or bowls and serve topped with peaches, some reduced poaching syrup, and pistachios.
DO AHEAD: Peaches can be poached 3 days ahead. Cover and chill in poaching liquid. Bring peaches to room temperature and reduce poaching liquid just before using.
