Christmas Simmer Pot

I’m absolutely obsessed with this Christmas Simmer Pot viral trend, I had to test it out for myself to know how epic it is! I know this is not really a recipe for eating, and even though the ingredients are edible, I still thought it would be a wonderful recipe to share!

 A simmer pot or stovetop potpourri is a large stovetop pot filled with water, fresh fruit and Christmas aromatic herbs and spices, that’s left to simmer for several hours to give off an amazing Christmas fragrance that is completely natural.

This simmer pot really does smell incredible and truly encapsulates Christmas! I adore the scent of the orange paired with the spices wafting through our home! It is so fabulous to put on when you have guests over, plus it’s completely natural!
