This post is all about grapefruit simmer pot recipe.
My Pinterest home page is full of spring simmer pots, and it made me want to try a couple of my own. I love the fresh scent of fruit and nature in my house, especially because I have two dogs, and I don’t like to use toxic air fresheners. Plus, I’ve developed a lot of sensitivity to chemical fragrances, so simmer pots are the perfect solution.
Simmer pots make your home smell amazing while naturally freshening the air, and the scent lingers for hours. Just keep refilling the water, and your house will keep smelling incredible.
I bought a very inexpensive simmer pot from Amazon because I didn’t want to use my only two pots and, to be honest, it’s also cuter.
Grapefruit Simmer Pot Recipe
