What Is a Simmer Pot?

A simmer pot is a natural home-fragrance blend made with ingredients such as citrus, herbs, and spices that are gently heated in water to release their aromas. Unlike a candle, a simmer pot fills your space with fragrance without burning wax. The ingredients of the simmer pot are added to 2-4 cups of simmering water on your stove.

Never leave a simmering pot unattended, and add water as needed.
