Happy Spring Equinox!! After a very long winter, I’m so happy that we’re officially welcoming warmer, longer days. To celebrate, we’re making this beautiful, fragrant Spring Flower Simmer Pot.

I made my simmer pot with roses and chamomile, but feel free to try it with any fragrant spring flowers of your choice! I think hyacinths and daffodils would work wonderfully here, too.

To make this simmer pot, simply combine the ingredients in a medium pot or dutch oven, add a few inches of water, and bring to a super gentle simmer over very low heat—if you overheat or boil fresh flowers, they won't smell good!!

I hope you enjoy making this whimsical simmer pot to welcome warmer days ahead!

Spring Simmer Pot

Spring Flower Simmer Pot

Makes 1 simmer pot

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp dried lavender

• 1 lemon, thinly sliced

• 1 sprig of fresh mint

• Roses or rose buds, stems removed (I used about 6 spray roses)

• 1 cup rose petals

• 1/2 cup fresh chamomile flowers

• 10 drops of rose essential oil

• 10 drops of lavender essential oil
  

To make:

1. Combine all ingredients in a medium pot or dutch oven. Add about 4 inches of water to the pot. Place on the stove and bring to a simmer over low heat. Be careful of overheating the water beyond a very gentle simmer! Boiling flowers will ruin their scent.

2. Let simmer for several hours, refilling with water as needed. Enjoy!!
