Fall is one of my favorite seasons – the weather, the food, the clothes, the activities, and the smells. All of the stores have put out their fall-scented candles and they smell glorious. But unfortunately, the fall scents come with massive sinus irritation for some people. If you’re one of these people or you just prefer the non-chemical route, you’ll find that this Fall Simmer Pot is the perfect customizable solution to getting all of the yummy smells of fall without the watering eyes.
The best part of this simmer pot is that you can probably make it with what you have on hand because you can use whatever smells good to you! If you prefer more of a citrus scent, add lemons and limes. Mint, lavender, and sage are great for a little twist too. Going into the Christmas season, think about adding pine cones and pine needles. There’s no wrong answer here!
Enjoy!
