The BIG question - Do you like your tea sweet or unsweetened? Tell me below👇
🌸Comment SIMMER for two recipes - one for spring and one for fall - that I`ll send to your DM.🌸
Simmer pots are a fun and easy way to freshen your home using citrus and herbs from your garden - like rosemary, thyme, mint, and lavender. Just add to water and keep it on a low simmer. I especially like to do this on the day I am planning a dinner with friends.
Important: Never ever leave your simmer pot unattended or leave the cooktop on when you leave the house. Always check your water level and add more as you need to. Keep out of reach from pets and children as the water is extremely hot
