fall simmering pot with orange slices, cinnamon and mint.

Materials Needed

Fall has some of the best scents, cinnamon, apple cider, pumpkin spice and so many more! I love the smell of fresh baked goodies in the entire house but this little trick gets your house smelling like fall without any of the baking!

I don’t use measurements. I just put as much as my heart desires and since I love the smell of cinnamon I use a lot of that!! Plus, you can use as much or as little ingredients as you want, sometimes I don’t have cinnamon sticks so i just use cinnamon powder.

You’ll need:

Water
Cinnamon sticks
Cinnamon powder
Vanilla extract
Dried mint (can use a tea bag instead)
Orange

Ingredients needed to make a fall simmering pot placed on a cutting board.
