What is a Simmer Pot?

A simmer pot is a simple and delightful way to naturally scent your home. It involves simmering a combination of fruits, herbs, spices, and other fragrant ingredients in water on your stovetop. As the ingredients gently simmer, they release their aromatic oils, filling your home with a lovely and inviting fragrance. It's like a homemade potpourri that not only smells amazing but also adds a touch of cozy ambiance to your space.

1. Use a Small Pot: A small saucepan or pot is ideal for simmering.
2. Add Water: Fill the pot with enough water to cover the ingredients.
3. Simmer Gently: Keep the heat low to avoid boiling or scorching.
4. Replenish Water: Add more water as needed to keep the ingredients submerged.
