This fall simmering pot recipe uses all natural ingredients and spices you already have at home. It is so easy to prepare and it fills your home with the most wholesome and comforting fall smells.

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

Fall Simmering Pot Recipe
Start by filling a pot with water about halfway.

Next cut an orange into slices and add it into the water. Squeeze some juice from the orange into the water.


Add your cinnamon sticks, you can use as many as you like! I used 4 here.


Add a splash of vanilla extract

Now just add your dried mint and 1 tablespoons of cinnamon powder. The powder is optional!


Place your pot on your stove top on medium heat until it boils, then you simple turn it down to low heat and let everything simmer.


It takes no time before the whole house smells amazing! Continue to add water as needed.

This is how I’ve always made my fall summering pot but there are so many alternatives! You can also add lemon, lime, apples, pears, cloves, nutmeg, pumpkin spice, anise. The fall scents are endless.
