Cozy Holiday Simmer Pot
So many cozy and fun things to do this weekend in preparation for the holidays!
This is one of the easiest things and an absolute favorite at our house! As a matter of fact, we are enjoying the beautiful fragrance right now while filling out our Christmas cards!
Simmer pots are one of those things that there really are not rules for, but by following some basic steps, you can really get creative and have fun.
Our basics steps for a lovely Simmer Pot:
- cut and prepare ingredients like spices, herbs, citrus, peels
- fill a large (or small) pot about 1/2-3/4 the way with water
- bring the water to a boil and oil and carefully add your prepared ingredients
- return to a boil for about a minute or so
- lower to a simmer and enjoy!
We're sharing today's recipe to get you get started.
To the boiling water we added: 3 cinnamon sticks, 3 orange slices, some apple peel, and a small handful of cloves and star anise.
Once it comes back to a boil for a minute, turn it way down to a simmer and enjoy the amazing aroma! 🍁 When the ingredients are spent, just throw them in the compost.
Enjoy!
