WHAT IS A SIMMER POT
Some call them simmering pots, some homemade air fresheners, some others simmering potpourris. We are talking of herbs and spices simmered in a pot full of water to give your house a wonderful smell.
SIMMER POT RECIPES
I have a few other simmering pot recipes on the blog, but the Christmas simmer potpourri is my favorite. It is made with allspice, cloves, bay leaves, vanilla, and cinnamon.
