Discovered Home Fragrance Secrets: A Simmer Pot Method for an Astonishingly Phenomenal Scent Around Your House, Using a Safe, Toxin-Free Approach
Lydia Hayman, a kitchen appliances editor, has shared a delightful hack for creating a warm, inviting ambiance in your home – the Summer Simmer Pot. This non-toxic, adaptable method of fragrancing a home is gaining popularity, especially during the transition from summer to fall.
The process is simple. Fill a large pot or Dutch oven, such as a Le Creuset, with cold water. Add a selection of herbs, spices, and aromatics. Lydia suggests using 2 oranges, 2 teaspoons of dried flowers or tea leaves (like rosehip, everlasting flower, hibiscus, and linden leaf), 1/4 cup sliced ginger root, half a teaspoon of sweet almond extract, and a cinnamon stick.
Once the ingredients are in, top up with boiling water, bring it to a gentle simmer, and let it simmer for around 20 minutes until the fragrance deepens. After this initial simmer, carefully add in more water as it evaporates and let the simmer pot bubble away for up to 2 hours.
The beauty of the Summer Simmer Pot hack lies in its customisability. You can adjust the ingredients according to what you have on hand and the mood you want to create. For a richer, more fruity scent suitable for late summer and early fall, Lydia suggests using a blend of different fruits and spices.
Initially, Lydia considered using Williams Sonoma's signature blend for her Summer Simmer Pot, but found it too bright and springlike. Instead, she opted for a more balanced mix of flavours that would suit the changing season.
To enhance the experience, consider using a sleek pot with a ribbed glass finish or a gorgeous acacia wood mixing spoon. These additions not only make the Summer Simmer Pot look more appealing but also contribute to the overall ambiance.
The Summer Simmer Pot, also known as a stovetop potpourri, is a perfect way to match your home's atmosphere to the changing season. So, why not give it a try and enjoy the warm, floral scent with a touch of spice that fills your home?
