The calendar say October 2nd, so it is officially Fall! One of my favorite Fall activities is to make simmer pots. Simmer pots are a natural and healthy way to bring the smell of Fall into your home. Combining fruits, essential oils, and spices to make a simmer pot is an easy and fun alternative to scented candles. I’ve compiled a list Fall simmer pot recipes that you will enjoy making and enjoy smelling! I also love to take pictures of my Fall simmer pots to share to my social media. Simmer pots look beautiful in the pot as you gently simmer the water, maybe you’ll feel inspired to share your simmer pot creations on your social media. If you do, make sure to take me @mrslydiaroper so I can see your simmer pot!
Bring some Cottagecore coziness into your kitchen and home with my Fall simmer pot recipes!
My favorite ingredients for my Fall simmer pots include apples, oranges, cinnamon, cloves, anise, vanilla, and nutmeg. Those are all traditional Fall ingredients that really bring out the nostalgia for me! In fact, clove is my favorite essential oil, so I love the big role that it plays in many of my fall simmer pot recipes.
To make a simmer pot:
- gather your ingredients
- place them in a small to medium sized pot
- cover with water, to your desired level
- bring to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer
- allow to simmer for at least 30 mins, while your kitchen and home fill with beautiful aromas
To make an last minute simmer pot you should have the following ingredients stocked in your pantry:
- whole cinnamon sticks
- whole cloves
- whole anise
- orange essential oil
- pumpkin pie spice
- vanilla extract
- apples
- oranges
