What is a simmer pot?

A simmer pot is a type of stovetop potpourri that you can make with various fruits, herbs, flowers and spices. Gently simmer on the stove to make your home smell incredible.

Not only will it get rid of any unpleasant odors, but it is a cleaner alternative to candles.

You can get creative with any combination of ingredients you have on hand. Below is one of my favorite recipes for an uplifting spring scent.

This lilac simmer pot is also really popular in the spring time when the lilacs are in bloom.

To make this uplifting spring simmer pot you will need:

• Lemon slices
• Orange slices
• Lime slices
• Thyme
• Eucalyptus oil (linking it here)
• A pot
• Or you can use a bowl and a candle warmer (linking one here)

 

Directions:

1.) Start by slicing the citrus fruits and squeezing them while placing into  a pot or bowl.

2.) Add the thyme and a few drops of eucalyptus essential oil.

3.) Fill with water.

4.) Place on the stove and allow to simmer on low for 3-4 hours. Or if using a candle warmer lamp, place the bowl underneath a lit candle warmer lamp.

*You can add more water to prevent from drying out and re-use for the next 2-3 days.*
