I know simmer pots are typically popular in the winter but who says we can’t fill our homes with yummy scents during the summer using fresh goods from the garden?

I wish I could say I grew the lime. But I did actually grow the eucalyptus and mint in my garden. Combined together they smell like summer. If you don’t have access to the fresh ingredients in your garden, the grocery store should have you covered.

I recommend only a couple of sprigs of eucalyptus to one sliced lemon and about six sprigs of mint. Eucalyptus can over power the rest of the ingredients if too much is used.

Place all ingredients in a pot of boiling water. Reduce heat to simmer and enjoy the fresh scent. Be sure to keep an eye on the water level. If the mixture dries out, add more water and continue to enjoy.
