How to put together a summer simmer pot

1. Prepare all your ingredients

slice lemons into ½ inch slices

break cinnamon stick in half (if it wont fit in your pot)

pick your mint or chocolate mint

if you are using fresh lavender or rosemary pick that also.

2. Add Water

add all ingredients to your pot and fill with water

3. Simmer

plug in your crock pot stir and let simmer. I like using this small slow cooker that I found thrift shopping one day. you can also use candle powered votives (usually used for keeping butter melted)

or you can do it the more traditional way in an actual pot on the stove. I tend to stay away from that as a practice since I have a very forgetful mind and would forget that I have something on the stove simmering for hours. The small pot I use i can leave for most of the day with the lid on at an angle to allow some steam to escape and have no problems or concerns about burning.
