Make your house smell like Christmas. There’s a waft of cinnamon and cloves filling our house as I write this. It’s amazing. You need to give it a try.
Just grab a pot and fill it with water.
Now add these ingredients:
3 sprigs evergreen or handful pine needles – I borrowed from our Christmas tree 🙂
2 cinnamon sticks
2 TBS whole cloves
2 bay leaves
2 pieces orange rind
2 pieces lemon rind
I found this recipe online here. I liked this site because I already had most of the ingredients in our kitchen.
Once you have your pot ready, boil it for a bit at first and then turn it down to simmer. Just make sure you keep adding water to the pot throughout the day.
I came across the idea of simmering pots when putting together my #holidayhygge project. It’s my attempt at slowing down for the month of December and doing some old school, cozy things at home. Simmering pots are a win.

It totally gets a person into the holiday spirit! And the website where I found the recipe has lots of different ingredient combinations. The orange and vanilla one looks good too 🙂 Merry Christmas!
