Nothing signals the holiday season quite like the scent of winter citrus, warming spices, and fragrant herbs drifting through your home. Simmer pots capture one of the most nostalgic parts of the season and are a natural alternative to conventional candles and air fresheners, using simple ingredients you may already have on hand. Simmer pots are as simple as they sound, just a mix of herbs, spices, and produce gently heated in water to release their natural fragrance. Try combinations like orange, rosemary, and cinnamon for a classic holiday blend, or lemon, thyme, and vanilla for something lighter. Pro tip: Peels and rinds of fruits are often the most aromatic, making simmer pots a way to make the most of leftover ingredients. Keep an eye on the water level and top it off as it evaporates— the fragrance can last for hours and even be saved to refresh over several days. Once you’ve finished simmering, let the mixture cool before straining or storing it in the fridge to reuse within a couple of days. You can even prep simmer pot “kits” in advance by drying your ingredients or layering them in jars for easy gifting. FRUITY SPICY SIMMER POTS MAKE THE PERFECT DIY HOME FRAGRANCE HERBY
