What is a Simmer Pot?
A simmer pot is an all natural way to create aroma and atmosphere in your home without using a candle. Welcome your guests into your home with a delicious scent and a small cloud of steam. Typically, you fill the pot with sliced fruits, herbs, and different whole spices to make a soft and subtle scent. Then, you add water and set it simmering. It’s so easy, just put your ingredients in fresh water and let simmer for a few hours in a small saucepan. The scent will permeate your home like a sweet and spicy soup simmering on the stove.
