WHAT CAN I PUT IN MY SIMMER POT?

A good smelling simmer pot has at least three ingredients, but you can add as many things as you like! Think of it a bit like cooking when it comes to pairing complimentary scents.

For instance, lemon and rosemary, or vanilla and lavender. You can have quite a bit of fun creating your own simmer pot blends.

Cinnamon is warm and cozy, ginger smells clean, and anise and clove give off a subtle licorice scent.

When it comes to adding extracts or essential oils, if it is edible, you can add it to your simmer pot. You can use baking extracts or food safe essential oils.

You can also use a crockpot or slow cooker as a simmer pot. Add the ingredients you wish to use to the slow cooker, then fill with enough water so that the ingredients are floating.
