Simmer Pot | Lucky Bun-Pourri

Fall is here, bringing cravings for familiar holiday scents - cinnamon, nutmeg and pumpkin pie! But, if you have a pet rabbit, you know that strong and artificial fragrances can be dangerous to their health. Bunnies have sensitive respiratory systems! Simmer pots (aka stovetop potpourri) with bunny-safe ingredients are a great alternative to candles, plug-ins and essential oils, while still welcoming that familiar, cozy, fall aroma into your home.

Ingredients:

1 red apple, sliced

1 orange, sliced

3 cinnamon sticks

2 springs fresh rosemary

Instructions:

Place all ingredients into a cooktop-safe pot or slowcooker and fill with water so that everything is completely submerged. If using a pot, use a electric single burner hot plate. Heat water to a low simmer.

Tips:

Modify ingredients to personal preference.

Never leave a simmer pot unattended.

Add water to pot as it evaporates, keeping ingredients submerged.
