Made with simple ingredients, this Winter Simmer Pot is a warming blend of spices, cedar, and citrus that is used to create a comforting scent in the home.
Ingredient list:
- Cedar leaves (Thuja plicata)

Directions:
In a medium pot, add the full bag/jar of ingredients into approximately 6 cups of water.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer - just enough to see small bubbles and steam coming from the water.
Add more water as it evaporates to maintain the scent.
You can reuse the mixture the next day if desired.
To dispose of, cool and then compost.
