How To Make A Winter Simmer Pot

You can be creative with how much of each ingredient you put into your simmer pot. It all depends on what scent you would like to be most dominant. I chose to keep all of my ingredients similar in quantity so they could complement one another. Below are the exact measurements I used.

1. Half of an orange
2. Half of a lemon
3. A full apple
4. 3 cinnamon sticks
5. A handful on cranberries
6. 4 star annis
7. 9 cloves
8. 1 pine shoot
