5 fall simmer pot ideas for a cozy home

the minute the weather starts cooling down, i start absolutely craving a moody, cozy home which a lot of times includes starting a simmer pot on the stove & letting it fill the house with the warmest smells all day long.

simmer pots are endlessly flexible - just throw whatever you have that might smell good into a pot, add a lot of water, & set the stove to a low heat! just make sure to watch the pot throughout the day & add more water as necessary, otherwise it will evaporate all the water & burn the ingredients (ask me how i know 💀)

here’s a few “recipes” i’ve made & loved for you to start from! no exacts, because it really it perfect to experiment with different ingredients & amounts, & adjust accordingly.

happy simmering! 🫧
