Simmer pots have been around for eons and the combination of ingredients is rooted in spiritual tradition. 

Here's a little breakdown of the ingredients I chose and the meaning behind my choices:

Here’s a simple guide to creating your simmer pot with the ingredients that have spoken to me for this year.

What You’ll Need:

• Ingredients:
  • 1 Lemon 
  • 1 Orange 
  • 1 Apple 
  • 2-3 Cinnamon sticks
  • A few sprigs of Rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon Whole Black Peppercorns
  • 5-6 Star Anise
  • 2-3 Bay Leaves
  • A handful of Lavender (dried or fresh)
• Water
• A Pot

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Wash the fruits. Slice the lemon, orange and apple, and gather the herbs and spices.
2. Combine in the Pot: Place all the ingredients in your pot. You can adjust the quantities based on how fragrant you want your pot to be.
3. Add Water: Fill the pot with enough water to cover the ingredients. Leave some space at the top to prevent overflow when it simmers.
4. Heat: Place the pot on the stove and bring the water to a gentle simmer over low to medium heat. Avoid boiling, as you want to maintain a steady simmer for a longer time.
5. Simmer: Let it simmer, adding more water as needed. The longer it simmers, the more aromatic it will become.
6. Enjoy: The scents will fill your space, creating a calming atmosphere. You can simmer it for several hours—just keep an eye on the water level.
7. Storage: If you have leftovers, let them cool and store them in the fridge for a couple of days. You can reheat them for another round of fragrance!

Feel free to get creative with the ratios and additional ingredients! Enjoy your simmer pot!
