I am the biggest candle fan you’ll ever meet, but let me tell you—there’s nothing quite like the heavenly, comforting scent of a simmer pot bubbling on the stove.

This Autumn Simmer Pot combines the best scents of the season, like rosemary, apple, and cinnamon into one of the easiest, coziest DIYs you’ll ever make.

Simply add the ingredients to a medium pot or dutch oven, add water, and let simmer on low to fill your house with the most incredible, autumnal scent.

You can keep you Autumn Simmer Pot on the stove all day long if you like! Just remember to keep adding water to prevent the ingredients from burning, and never leave the house while it’s simmering on the stovetop.
