Stovetop Simmer Pot Blends
The coziest scent there is, and it comes from your kitchen, not a plug-in. Three blends for three moods.
Ingredients
- Blend 1 — Citrus Grove: 1 sliced orange, a few sprigs of fresh rosemary
- Blend 2 — Apple Orchard: 1 sliced apple, 1 cinnamon stick, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Blend 3 — Winter Woods: a handful of pine sprigs, 1 sliced lemon, 5 drops cedarwood essential oil
- Water to cover
Steps
- Add your chosen blend to a saucepan.
- Cover with water.
- Bring to the barest simmer — never a rolling boil.
- Top up the water as it evaporates.
- Compost the botanicals when you're done.
Storage
Make fresh each time; refrigerate leftovers up to 2 days and re-simmer once.
⚠️ Safety notes
- NEVER let the pot boil dry — set a timer and check the water level.
- Don't leave the stove unattended.
- Keep away from children and pets.
Never leave burning candles or melting wax unattended, and keep all open flames, hot wax, and fire starters away from children and pets. Trim candle wicks to 1/4 inch before each burn.
