Question 1

Can I use fresh lavender instead of dried?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Fresh lavender works beautifully if it's in season. You may need to use a little more than dried to get the same strength of scent.

Question 2

How long can I reuse a simmer pot?

Accepted Answer

You can reuse it for up to 2–3 days. Just let it cool, store it in the fridge, and reheat when you’re ready to enjoy it again. Replace ingredients once they lose their scent or look a little tired.

Question 3

Can I make this in a crockpot?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. A mini crockpot is perfect for simmering safely all day. Just keep the lid off so the fragrance fills your space.

Question 4

Is this safe around kids and pets?

Accepted Answer

It’s made with natural ingredients, but always use caution—especially around open flames or hot surfaces. Keep the pot out of reach of little hands and curious pets.

Question 5

What if I don’t have rosemary?

Accepted Answer

You can leave it out or swap in another fresh herb like thyme, mint, or even sage. It’s easy to mix and match based on what you have.

Question 6

Can I gift a simmer pot mix?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Dry the ingredients and layer them in a small jar or kraft bag. Tie it with twine, add a tag with simmering instructions, and you’ve got a thoughtful homemade gift.
