This season, welcome your family and guests with a simmering holiday stove top potpourri. These delicious scents are sure to transform every nook and cranny of your home into a place of holiday wonder.

How It Works:
Simply fill a pot with water, add your favorite ingredients and let the delightful scent simmer all day long. An added bonus – this also helps humidify your home during the dry winter season.

To get started, fill a saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add the ingredients from your favorite recipe, boil for a few minutes, then turn the heat to low or simmer for as long as you want the fragrance to fill your home. Remember to top off the water every 30 minutes or as needed, you don’t want the pot burning dry. Never leave the house with your stove top on, remember to always turn the stove off before leaving.

You can also use a slow cooker or crockpot to simmer your potpourri. Simply add the water and ingredients, put the cooker on low heat, and let the fresh scent fill the air.

Storage:
You can refrigerate your simmering recipe and reuse daily for up to one week. Just keep adding water as needed.

Below are some of our favorite recipes, but we encourage you to mix up the ingredients and amounts to find your favorite aromas. Soon your house will smell like happiness!
