Creating a simmer pot ( also known as pot pourri) can do so much for your home. This winter simmer pot not only brings beautiful fresh scents into your home but can also bring new life and good vibes.
weather you intend to practice a little bit of witchcraft or simply to bring fresh welcoming scents to your home this simmer pot is for you.
everyone likes their home to smell good. So often we resort to burning candles and artificial air fresheners. these options work and they often smell great but excessive use of them can actually do more harm than good.
burning candles too much can cause damage to your home, and body. leaving soot residue in your lungs nose and all over your walls. Honestly, anything in the room can be covered in soot.
making a simmer pot can give you a fresh smell in your home without all that risk.
some people like to do a simmer pot on the stove. in a large pot fill with water and add your ingredients. you leave it on a low simmer (hence the name simmer pot) for as long as you wish.
The problem for me on this one is that I have the memory of a goldfish with extreme brain damage. I would forget about the pot and leave it on for too long. Burn the pot, the stove and maybe even the kitchen.
so I have found that the best way to do this is with my tiny slow cooker. I was thrift shopping recently and found a tiny slow cooker. It does not cook anything. It doesn’t have any settings or buttons it is just there to be a warmer for gravies and sauces.
The mini cooker is on when plugged in and off when un plugged. Keeping things simple for a fish like me.
so I add fewer ingredients than you might if you were using a large pot. I fill it with water and place the lid on top. Placing the lid slightly rescue helps some of the scent escape without the water boiling out too fast.
So why not try a winter simmer pot for yourself and see the difference it makes? Fill your home with amazing fresh scents and good intentions.
